AI controlled gunners will not shoot their own planes, but when the player takes control it is possible to shoot your own plane. Most aircraft in WW II had fire interrupters that would prevent the guns from firing when pointed at a part of the aircraft. Unfortunately, this is not modeled in this sim, so you just have to be careful to not shoot yourself.

Funny scene regarding such in this clip from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
