From a USA fighter crash site in Salerno area

[SALERNO1943]

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??
