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? |
