Re: RAF Anson collision with BEA Dakota 19th Feb 1949 Exhall
Hello Brian
RAF Anson Collision 19 February 1949 at Exhall with BEA Dakota I am not sure if you have/want this aerial incident, for your incidents section? But found it in my local Nuneaton newspaper dated 22 April 1949. Exhall is between Coventry and the town of Bedworth in northern Warwickshire. I have not researched it yet.

Re: Friendly fire WWII
Hi Darius
I've tried a translation but it doesn't make sense to me. Can you advise, please? Black Sea: ...In amending the notification of 26/1 the airstrike on South Pier Kerch is fdl Fehlwurf of its own aircraft instead of attack. Aircraft is done." Cheers Brian |

Re: Friendly fire WWII
The diary on the 26th listed the attack as being done by a friendly aircraft, the entry on the 27th corrects it by telling it was an enemy one (fdl being the short form of feindlich = enemy).

Re: Friendly fire WWII
On 18 July 1942 the fighter of Leytenant Ivan G. Shemyakin of 873 IAP was hit by Flak during a combat mission and he had to force-land on friendly territory in the Nizhne-Soloninskaya area, but was then killed by his own troops that took him for an enemy pilot.

Re: Friendly fire WWII
I thought it was high time this thread was made a sticky. I can't think why we didn't do it before it got to 64 pages!
