Hello,
We strongly believe that it was W/O W.J. McInerheny of No 3 Sqd RAAF flying a Mustang III FB290 on April 03 1945. Pilot evaded but his fate later on is unclear as there is some eyewitness reports that he was KIA while trying to make it to liberated areas further south for evac to Italy. A small part of a/c structure was found in the forest with numbers 112 on it which would indicate B or C model of P-51 or Mustang III . Also .50 cal ammunition would support an American manufactured a/c.
Any additional info on the fate of the pilot would be appreciated.

Some additional info came up and it shows that the pilot was RTD 'd to his unit by May 05 45. Happy ending like a lot of the flight crews that were shot down over Yugoslavia during WW2.

Now they'll never find it, they'll wander round in circles complaining that there's an old Boeing wreck but no B-24 Liberator!

About the p51...


I found it

I found alot more parts but i have not cleaned them yet and this one at least looks like its from a plane... You can clearly tell by all the rivets.

Thank you all for all your help. It was much appreciated.
