Italian sea, night of september 16 1943
Hello friends, on the night of september 19 1943, a twin engined plane was shot down near Piombino, italy. Two crewman was rescued still alive by the germans, sgt Eric Wilson and sgt Douglas Salt. Thank also to the post of Laurent Rizzotti (Orbs online) i was able to identify the plane as the Vickers Wellington "X" belonging to the 458 Sqn RAAF.
With my friend Giampiero Vaccaro, of Piombino, we are trying to find more about Douglas Salt, wich was the sole survivor after the death of Sgt. Wilson, dead one month after the crash due to his severe injuries. Someone can suggest us the fate of the sgt Salt, and more details about the mission? Thanks in advance Mick
