help me identify airplanes

Hi, I'm writing from Italy, more precisely from southern Italy (Termoli). In recent days, this trolley and piece of the airplane wing, which is presumed to date back to the Second World War, was recovered 5 miles from the coast. Who could tell me which aircraft model it belongs to? thank you and forgive me for the imperfect english!!!

Looks like the main gear leg off a B-24. There were a lot of them based in Italy with the 15th Airforce, my father among them.

Thank you! it looks just like him!!! I live near the old Ramitelli airfield and a little further on are those of Madna and Biferno. In past years several wrecks were found: a P51 near the coast a few meters from my house at 4 meters deep. Then others were found a few miles from Termoli. In the 1990s, a crashed plane was found shortly after take-off from Ramitelli, two meters under the sand near a seaside resort. At the mouth of the Saccione river, a P51 plundered over the years, while two years ago, during the dive I found the Merlin engine of a P40 at 8 meters deep in front of my beach house. Recovery was never attempted, and I never told the authorities the exact location!! The sea in front of Termoli is full of wrecks, but I had never seen the wreck of a B24.

My Father flew with the 484th bomb group flying in B-24s out of Tortorella Airfield northeast of Foggia. It would be interesting to know if that B-24 came from his airfield although I know it could not be his aircraft as it was shot down over Austria with him spending time in a POW camp.
