lol - aye, you really learn to pick out the differences between the planes (Spit/Hurri wingtips are round, BF-109 square, for instance), and I've downed a few friendlies - stories from the real thing suggested this happened a fair bit (although maybe not as much as in your war Ancient Seraphim
).
And landing is possible, but make sure you're plenty slow when you hit the deck (sub 200), hit right at the near end of the runway, cut the throttle immediately, and pull back on the stick once you're below 'take off' speed, and you'll generally stop in time, although there's a couple of very short strips where you've got no chance unless you can do a 180 using your rudder!
