Propellers, engines landing gear and machine guns only remain at this crash site. The rest was either broken up, scrapped or otherwise missing from this violent impact.

"The locals say the pilot bailed out, was captured and murdered in the Amron. The aircraft certainly impacteded hard. I am not aware of this aircraft ever being identified. I've always suspected that it might be P-38H 42-66904."
