Fighter plane crashed in Piedmont (Italy)

I did misread the thread and see that the cam is from a Jumo 213 from the 1st aircraft discovery.

If the new find turns out to be a P-47, and you find any engine parts, please post. I am actively restoring an R-2800 and am becoming very familiar with the engine parts.

Hello everyone.
Today I had some news from an old partisan .
Unfortunately the help you gave me does not fit with his tale .
I also found a number of articles on a local weekly written after the war that confirm his story .
The plane we are looking rushed in October 1944 and was certainly English.
There is a database similar to macr for england ?
Thank you so much again .
Claudio

I found the little book that talks about this event .
I also found a newspaper article of the 90 that interview a veteran.

From this article the exact date would be August 20, 1944, RAF's airplane.

The pilot could be Scottish William Mc Clelland.

Unfortunately, on this last part I did not certainties.
