US fifth army, Spitfire crash in Italy

I found this story happened near to my land:

"Photograph US servicemen standing in a field with crash-landed British Spitfire." 22 Nov. 1944, Fifth Army Loiano Area, Italy.
The pilot was Sgt. William Henry Bundock, Colchester, Essex, England. “

Where can I find the MACR and info about this plane crash ?
Thanks

Re: US fifth army, Spitfire crash in Italy

Spitfire LF.IX PT839 of 87 Squadron, hit by flak and crashlanded 22/11/1944.
As this was an RAF aircraft there will not be an MACR.
Instead, brief details will be in the Squadron Operations Record Book, AIR27/713, the relevant section should be available for download for a small fee from the National Archives.

Sean.
