Re: Friendly Fire from aircraft
It is an uncommon occurrence. It has happen since the first aircraft attacked the ground target. It also happens in ground combat and well as naval operations.
In Operation Cobra the USAAF destroyed Panzer Lear and a US Inf battalion that was dropped on.
Remember that most pilots don't like CAS. Only in the USMC and the Warthog community is it an everyday mission.
Also… there is no such thing as friendly fire. Bombs and rockets have no friends... only those who use them and those who get hit by them.
