Just on the lines of this, I have a couple of pictures in a book showing a higher B-17 dropping his payload onto a B-17 that strayed under him.
Edit: "Not all losses were due to enemy action. A B-17F ot the 91st BG sheds its load without realising that another aircraft has strayed almost directly beneath it. The first bomb strikes the tailplane without detonating, bending down. In the final picture the Fortress goes down out of control; the victim of poor lookout and less than perfect station-keeping.
I will try and get the picture on.
