SALERNO1943 is on a distinguished road
From a USA fighter crash site in Salerno area

This crash site we can find with help of a old man that was a child when aircraft go down.
It is crashed about 15 km sout east of Salerno, september 1943.
The old man said us that he seen a USA and a German aircraft fought in the sky. Then the USA aircraft go very near to the ground and take a steel cable put in the valley and crashed. He remember that there was at least a dead body from the aircraft. Actually we have not other informations.
Here are the fragments after a first reconnaissance. Some idea about aircraft type??
This appear to be a cover. Colour grey or blue\grey. Measure 17x11 cm. Number 56 painted

Rear. Yellow.

Code 89C222 4 5

Code S9085

Fragment of fuselage. Colour grey\blu covered with colour yellow.

Fragment of alluminium.

Code 931 631 66....

Code circled R 199

Code circled M

Small fragments

Bullets of 12,7 mm

All marked S L 43

We are not sure these object we find in crash site are from aircraft. Some idea about black plastic object?
