Yes Its an A-36 , in the short list below , there is an MIA which is at 5 miles from the crash point . It s Isola del Liri . The pilot could be ALBERT PRICE of the 27th FG or Douglas Plowden of the 86th FG (still Alive)

For Albert Price the Area matches very well but I don't know if he joined the USAF in MAY 44 (after beeing hiden several mounth)

For Plowden the story matches , but the area is a little bit too far 40miles.
I saw that this victory is claimed by the luftwaffe but may be not confirmered because he did not crash in same area,
The people recall they heard "tatatatata" and somebody said it s the 20mm anti aircraft, and they saw the plane with smoke. May be he was already heart and flew at low altitude. He hit the ground at an altitude of 770m (2300ft)

I have to find out all the story, it would so great for all a village
My mother saw him only once, the kids had to go to bed when he was coming home !!!

Another question please : what is the key to identify a geographic point like : O-2118 or G2008
