I found these painting on ebay by Ron Cole with fragments of specific plane with great details, I wanted to share, get some thoughts. add reads:

USAAF P-61A Black Widow night fighter authentic aircraft fragment, paired with artwork by Ron Cole.

This 19 x 13 inch handsome display depicts P-61A (42-5533) in action over Europe, and is paired with an actual aluminum skin fragment of this specific aircraft - excavated in 1980 from its wartime crash site near Nantwitch, Cheshire, England. This P-61 served with the elite 422 Night Fighter Squadron out of Scorton, and on November 7, 1944 was being flown by Lt. Edgar E. Merriman, when a mechanical failure forced it to crash and Lt. Merriman to bail out of the aircraft. Its grave is the only known P-61 crash site in England. This piece of aluminum retains some of its original black paint.
