Re: Air combat Italy April '44

The GNR report also says that on that day there was air combat and this would be the cause of the crash. I found witnesses in Pontelagoscuro that recall the passage of the B-17 already hit and escorted by two fighters (I ignore if Germans or Italians).
This is a report GNR:
"Il 30 aprile c.m. alle ore 12.30, in seguito a combattimento aereo, un quadrimotore americano precipitò nei pressi di Fratta Polesine (Rovigo). I componenti dell’equipaggio, lanciatisi col paracadute, vennero immediatamente catturati dalla G.N.R."
