"Despite instructions to hold off from attacking, Schmidt said he was "rolling in, in self defense" and dropped a 500-pound (230-kg) bomb on what the pilots later learned were members of the Canadian unit."
and again...
"Despite instructions to hold off"
This is the key part of the story to me. If the pilots had been lacking specific instruction and felt they were under attack I would personally hold them blameless, but this is not the case.
