Re: USAF airplane crashed in 1952 at Salerno?

it being a post war accident there will not likely be an MACR.

Stars and Stripes Newspaper dated Thursday, 13th November 1952 carried this story:

Major, Capt Identified as Italy Crash Victims
Weisbaden, Nov. 12 (Special)
Two Air Force Officers killed last Friday when their B26 crashed into a mountainside near Naples have been identified as Maj Jack Telford, pilot, whose address was listed only as St. Quentin, France, and Capt Richard Gilbert, a navigator, of Chicago.

That might make the crash date November 7th 1952.

Email the AFHSO www.airforcehistory.hq.af.mil

and request any details they might have.
