I'm sure there was given the amount of aircraft in the skies during battles but we have some pretty advanced tech these days to identify aircraft.
We no longer have to rely on stripes painted on planes to identify them.
We are light years ahead of that now
Yes i know very well. It's still war,shit happens and it happened a lot in ww2. Main thing here,is that no one was killed.
The USS Long Beach shot down an Iranian Airbus on a scheduled flight path in the 80's used modern tech of the time, it can still happen despite all the checks and interlocks used.
Actually it was the USS Vincennes that shot down the airliner.
