Re: Wreck
It is a fighter crashed in Normandy. Rounded wingtip - does not look like Spitfire nor Messerschmitt - Typhoon or Thunderbolt. Angle between prop blades indicates there were 4 attached to the hub - excludes any German type. Engine looks like radial - see coolant flaps - P-47. I would say that the ammo bays are visible as well as barrel covers in the leading edge. I am wondering if it is not 42-26407 C4-V of 365 FG lost on 11 July.
Beatiful shot with those wrecks behind (I cannot see them on aerial shot), any chance for a better scan?
