Re: Allied aircraft crashed in Piacenza area in september 1944

Hi!

If that piece come from a Spitfire, I think that the owner of the wrecks mixed them up! There are other crash sites in the Piacenza area.
But I still think that it could be a USAAF Beaufighter: according to witnesses the two crewmembers were american and the aircraft had two radial engines.

I've checked MACR's in the Footnotes site.
Beaufighter ND294 crashed near the airport of Lonate Pozzolo (a translated german report is included) so it can't be the aircraft I'm looking for.

Two other Beau that crashed probably in Northern Italy are MM 935, missing on 18 novembre 1944 (Howard John M. - Murphy John S.) and KV944 missing on 17 novembre 1944 (Graham Joe Scott - Richard Burton).
Even though they crashed in november, perhaps one of them could be the aircraft crashed at Gusano.
Does anyone know the crash place of these two Beaufighters?
Is it possible to find the place of the first burial of the crewmembers?

A third aircraft could be MM 917 missing on 29 november 1944 (Billie Joe Fox- Ralph Donald Mulhollen): unluckily, in the Footnote MACR the page with the infos about the aircraft and his mission is missing (there is that one of B-17G 44-6549 instead): does anyone could give any informations?

Thank you very much for the help

Gianandrea
