I have a feeling everyone went through the same teething period. It took the Germans a while to get the rhythm down of flak engaging and disengaging in turn with interceptors. The US had plenty of incidences, as well.
I always say, no matter how unpopular, they all had mothers. Nobody wins. Edit addition: poignant memorial at the end. Are there similar ones in countries that served with RAF? (I could google that.)
There is nothing more heartbreaking than the loss of a brother-in-arms......
.....due to friendly-fire.

When I find things like that in my research, I make sure to include them. I'm sure there are, though.
I doubt that Sgt. Redvers P Hawkings was born in 1939. Should that be 1919?
Yes. They weren't THAT desperate lol
