Re: From a C-47 crash site. Someone can help us?
 

Good Afternoon Gents!

I see that what we have been doing over at WIX is being mirrored here. Well Done! Just FYI and to avoid duplication of effort, I found and spoke with James Wyatt's nephew on Sunday afternoon. He has posted on the thread at WIX.

Matteo and Co. have a lot of work to do yet in the family contact area. That is not going to be easy. He really needs to get the IDPFs.

Just worthing a try.
For the label on pic 14, you may put a sheet of paper on it and gently scrub with a pencil (with a dry coalmine)...
