SALERNO1943 is on a distinguished road
From a USA fighter crash site in Salerno area

This crash site we can find with help of a old man that was a child when aircraft go down.
It is crashed about 15 km sout east of Salerno, september 1943.
The old man said us that he seen a USA and a German aircraft fought in the sky. Then the USA aircraft go very near to the ground and take a steel cable put in the valley and crashed. He remember that there was at least a dead body from the aircraft. Actually we have not other informations.
Here are the fragments after a first reconnaissance. Some idea about aircraft type??
This appear to be a cover. Colour grey or blue\grey. Measure 17x11 cm. Number 56 painted

Rear. Yellow.

Code 89C222 4 5

Fragment of fuselage. Colour grey\blu covered with colour yellow.

Fragment of alluminium.

Code 931 631 66....

We are not sure these object we find in crash site are from aircraft. Some idea about black plastic object?
