Re: USA Fighters crashed in Salerno 21 sept 1943?
Closest loss on 21 Sep 1943 in the area would be B-26B 41-17861 of 320th BG/444th BS that ditched at te mouth of the river Sele after flak hit in right engine. Six of crew had parachuted to safety, while pilot and co-pilot got out by dinghy (this B-26 had an eight-men crew, with extra observer and navigator).
I realize this is not a fighter, but it may be a start after all.
