With friendly fire incidents being so topical lately, I figured I would make a post about my favorite friendly fire incident of all time.

This is the story of Lt Col Louis Edward Curdes and the time he got a kill credit for shooting down an American aircraft. Image Growing up, Curdes' father instilled in him a passion for aviation. He took his first plane ride when he was 8 or 9, he went to watch air races and saw airships being built. He dropped out of Purdue to join the US Army Air Corps on December 6th 1941, 1 day before Pearl Harbor. Image
