USA Fighters crashed in Salerno 21 sept 1943?

[Leendert]

Spitfire EF550 (RAF) reportedly crashed 55 m. S. of Salerno, but then on 23-9-43.

On 21 Sep 43 2nd Lt William F. Imwall of 31st FG/309th FS was killed. This FG was in the process of transferring from Sicily to Montecorvino.
However, I don't know the circumstances of his death.

We know from book and witnessing that a USA aircraft crashed on ground in sept 1943 (some say 9 sept, some say 21 sept) around 50 km south of Salerno. Perhaps aircraft had double fuselage. Shot down from german fighters. Pilot bailed out before crash.
