This aircraft was crashed at Acerno, 25 km south east of Salerno in Summer 1943 but may be also september 1943. This aircraft was shot down from a german fighter and the pilot reported killed in the crash. Some idea about this aircraft? Thanks!

The numbers on pump "40590 A" and "...3637..." give you some idea? The pump appear to be of a Allison engine. So we find a P-38 or A-36 crash site. Do you have informations about P-38 or A-36 crashed south of Salerno in summer of 1943? The pilot was KIA. I believe no other USA fighters can go to Salerno area from Sicily in that time.
