"technical" question about a P-47 crash
Hi everyone,
Working about some very old WWII statements concerning the crash of a P-47, I would love to learn your own opinion about the following elements:
the guy (15 years old in 1944) said that the P-47 arrived with a low negative Climb, (maybe 5% or 10% negative Climb), at a relative low speed (it was still climbing as it was hit and then get down relatively "slowly" I guess)
-the plane hit the ground with that 5% negative climb and then made a long trench, about 50 meters long ad 80cm deep at his extremity
- at that point, the P-47 came "ass over head", and desintegrated on the ground,
- the parts were scattered on a very long area ("some hundreds meters long")
- and the engine and one safe bomb would have been found at about a 400 meters (!!!) distance from the first inpact point!!!
My question is;
do you believe one bomb and the engine should have "jumped" so long (about 400 meters) from impact point to their last position???
thanks for your point of views!
Mathias
