Hi all,
I found this forum a few weeks ago and have been reading it with great interest.
I was wondering if anyone here could shed some more light on a friendly fire incident that took place on December 18th 1942 between some Typhoons of 609 Sqn and some Spitfires of 91 Sqn.
I know from the book `No 91 Nigeria Squadron’ by Peter Hall that Sgt Jack Chittick was flying Spitfitre VB EP508 and was shot down by the Typhoon’s and that his wingman ( my great uncle ) managed to evade them.
I know this report covers the basics of what happened, but would there be any more info, would there have been any kind of inquiry ?
Many thanks for any help.

Whilst I hate to deflect any discussion away from here, go to the 12 O’Clock High forum. Here, you will find pages and pages of discussion on friendly fire. My old friend Brian Cull has been working on a friendly fire book and will doubtless be of assistance.
