Hello everyone, I'm a freelance researcher Italian . In the past I have done research on a German plane crashed in Corsaglia Valley (
http://storieefoto.blogspot.it/2013/...88-in-val.html)
I'm doing research on a fighter shot down in World War II .
I believe it was a British or USAF airplane.
Unfortunately I have very few information , I just know that it happened in the period to mid-summer 1944 .
The town where this plane crashed is Villanova Mondovi in the province of Cuneo.
These are the coordinates of the area of impact 44°22'10.07"N 7°45'23.92"E
From the stories of some partisans who at the time occupied the valleys the pilot parachuted out of a nearby village and was rescued . Was not captured by Nazzi or fascist troops
I know they were removed from the plane two machine guns and the partisans tried to use them but failed . They were too damaged .
Unfortunately I doubt that it could be an English plane since I do not know for what reason was there .
Probably it was an action against the airport near Mondovi or railway lines, I found that there were bombing missions of Ceva , Mondovi , Lesegno , Turin . I have not found the mission in mid 1944 in which a fighter crashed around mondovì .
