Captain Curdes may be the only pilot to get a DFC for shooting down one of his own but, as an apprentice at BAC Hurn, I can remember Dave Glaser showing some camera gun film from his wingman when he flew Spitfires. A lighthouse was titled a ship and another Mk. V was a FW190!

Posts 13 and 14 might be worth reading. No DFCs though!
