Re: USAF airplane crashed in 1952 at Salerno?
Salerno,
You've read part of the anwser on armyairforces.com that the crashed aircraft was a B-26.
This would have been a Douglas B-26 Invader. It's not clear from the newspaper article if the a/c was operated by the US Navy or USAF.
In former case then it probably was a JD-1 of some VU (utility squadron), and if USAF a B-26C, most likely of the 126th BW at Laon-Couvron AB, France.
Regards,
Leendert
