friendly fire

did anyone see the documentary on bbc2 on the battle of monte cassino? basically the usaaf as it then was decide to mount a bombing raid a day early, only problem was they neglected to tell troops on ground. i also read a small article on this in todays telegraph, pilot was illlinois ang ex usn callsign psycho(and i thought the spams didnt understand irony) and it also said he may face criminal charges, i think they mean courts martial. the canadians killed were the canadians first combat deaths since korea.
