A/C Crash Site in Spain (Sierra Nevada, possibly post WW2)
Hi all !
Do we have a Spain/Espana expert? During my vacation in southern Spain I hiked the Sierra Nevada mountain range (near Mulhacen peak). Accidentally I found there an a/c crash site at a steep declining area. There are still very many metal parts, some up to 100 cm in size. I also found a complete, but severely tattered combat jacket with a stamped-on insignia: Blue circle (diameter about 5 cm), white 5 five pointed star with 2 yellow wings. So maybe USAAF pilot? There were no human remains, no personal identifier on the jacket, no readable signs or numbers on the metal parts. The jacket seemed to be made of synthetic fibre so i guess the a/c crashed after WW2. Possibly all of this is debris left over by a rescue team??? Does sombody have a clue which A/C crashed at Mulhacen mountain ? Thank you ! |
