Re: P-39 Aircobra Pictures North Africa

There is a better pic of the crashlanded one in p.67 of Bell P-39 "Airacobra" by Alain Pelletier, captioned "this P-39 was shot down by the Italians in Tunisia during the Winter of 1942-43".
The wreck is crowded by locals and what seems to be uniformed Italians, clearly visible are the individual letter "T" forward of the door and the two last digits of the s/n "93" on the vertical fin.
A good candidate could be P-39L-1-BE 42-4493.
