"The bodies of Bronstein, Berkstresser and Mansfield were never recovered and they are commemorated on the Wall of the Missing at Florence, Italy."

if is this is an American Aircraft, i would suggest you contact the U.S. Joint POW/MIA Accounting Commision. JPAC. they do good work recovering and identifying U.S servicemen.
attached is a link to their website, where you will see a form for reporting any finds of human remains.

The plate "Dynamotor DM-32-A" is the plate from AFT Radio Equipment, used also on B-17G
The small oval parts on the photo in the middle "Uniform / Parachute-bag Parts and Plastik Parts !?!? " must be from map-case. I have found the same closure on crash sites of british a/c.
The hook came from bomb rack, 10 hooks per bomb rack, 40 hooks was used.

the plates in picture 4 are from the flak vest. i have some of the same.
the smaller fasteners with "lift dot" are also from the flak vest. they are the fasteners for the shoulder. you can see them and the plates in the photo
you are right, that is part or the ammo feed for a 50cal.
Consolidated was the name of the company that designed the B24

Hi WNF,
The photos of the part you have titled "Okular?" are from the bomb sight. I found an identical one at a B-17F site in California, USA. It was not as cracked as yours and when you looked through it just right you could see the cross hairs (the X) of the bomb sight.

WNF,
By the way on the issue of human remains, here is a post from JPAC concerning a similar incident in France that I was involved with, obviously it you would want to contact the U.S. Embassy Defense Attache in your country rather than France.
*************************************
Any possible site or remains associated with U.S. service members should be reported directly to JPAC. This will allow us to coordinate with local officials and the French government to protect the site and to get a JPAC investigation/recovery team to the site to conduct a forensic operation to recover the remains. If the remains are already out of the ground the information should be reported to both JPAC using the contact information below, and the U.S. Embassy Defense Attache office in Paris. parisdao@state.gov
Please let me know if you have any questions or information that may be of assistance as we are currently planning for upcoming missions to Europe.
Kind regards,

Hi Paul !
Very interesting parts !
I think this must be parts from engine.
Some of this I can identify;
1. The writing "ALCOA" means the manufacturer "Aluminium Coorporation of America"
2. "Zündkerze" (Spark plug) looks like as a spark plug
3. Little part with writing "LIFT THE DOT" came from a flakwest

The presence of a U.S. Team makes me think of a JPAC or CILHI team (at that time) which would indicate they were searching for MIA....

Hi all,
I don´t know the legal situation in Austria. When the owner didn´t allowed to research the crash site, it is a problem !
Perhaps the owner have something to burrow...
The best way is for WMF to make a contact to JPAC and send them the coordinates of the crash site. Maybe JPAC, or the American embassy find a way to search on the crash site.
In Germany is the legal situation, when the owner say "No", it is no way to research :roll:

yes, in Austria we have the same problem!!
but if somerwhere find "MIA Human Relicts" so the law will change, and the forrest owner will get a problem, then will come the "Black Cross" (http://www.osk.at/ ) and will search the complete area

In Holland it's different when human remains are found even when an owner says no...
The police will be called and the Grave Service Team of the army will be notified in cooperation with the Air Force Salvage Group in case of a crashed aircraft.

The problem of WMF is now, he didn´t found human remains.
When some of this crew member are missing, I think JPAC would be research on this crash site.
When the crash site is into a forest it is probably to found human remain in the upper area of the ground. This location can be a very great extent...
It is often a "virgin terrain".

Maybe WNF can get some confirmation on the U.S. Team that went there...
Fact is that still 2 crewmembers are listed as MIA and if this was a recovery team which didn't find the proper spot in those years I'm pretty sure JPAC would be interested !

Roy N - 18.04.2007, 19:35
Paul,
it sounds strange to me that there is no law to allow a search for remains. here in the UK the police would have to be called. however, most UK wrecks are well known and this is rare
it is illegal to dig crashsites in Britain without a Government permit. all sites with remains are listed as war graves and its impossible to get a licence. other crash sites with no remains are still protected by law.
JPAC have been allowed to conduct searches here but they are the exception.
if the Americans have been looking in the area at some time then they must have records of it.
i think that JPAC could be contacted but they will need to know that remains are present before they will take any action.

Roy,
You're right ! I don't understand the laws in Austria and Germany either. Over here no permits are given. Individual groups would stop their work at once when remains are found and notify the officials.
Not 2 but 3 crewmembers are MIA. That's why I was interested in the finding of the part of a shoe....It could be that remains were buried close by shortly after the crash. Maybe WNF can check for any possible witnesses.

Paul

The hook was installed on the bomb rack and have the part number "AC33A6180" and "AC33A6180-1"
On the diagram you can see (with red points) the locations on the rack.
(Notice: only marked the hooks which could be see on the diagram)
Installed was five hooks per rack.

MUCKS - 04.05.2007, 01:36TWO RINGS TOP RIGHT RIGHT OF IMAGE FLAK JACKET PLATES AND ST
WNF.
The picture with the flak jacket squares and press studs.
The other two rings in the picture, top right are......
The larger ring which I guess will be be tappered on the inside and threaded on the out side, is either a inlet or exhaust valve seat .They were screwed into the cyl heads as they would not drop out of the head when engine was at working temp as alloy exspands quicker than hardened steel.
The smaller ring is the valve springs top retaining cap, which would have two valve collets fitted to the inside of ring and retained in a groove in the top of the valve stem and would keep the springs under tension.To confirm this look at the above mailing for( B24D CYL HEAD) look above the springs and you will see your RING with the two collets. The picture of the head has one of the valves missing that came adrift on inpact but in the casting there is what is left of the thread that YOUR seat would have screwed into. Hope this helps.

The Talon zipper and the item(s) left of it, the throat clasps, are from an A-2 flight jacket !! And I notice 2 pair of them still closed....

the ammo looks like 303? not .50?. are you sure this is a USAAF B24.?
i think some RAF Liberators used 303 cal.
ive no idea what the yale lock would be for

I´m wondering about the .303 ammunition too...
The "D" from the part number means the Cowling contruction,
the "W" means the Wing construction ;)
The broken glass could be from the tail gunners windows, I mean to know
this is not made of Plexiglas :roll:

Roy.
Only a thought the yale lock is that british manufacture only? if so then it has to be a RAF B24.

thanks for answering!
the glass is not plexi its real glass !
and yes its .303 ammunition, but i found a lot of cal.50 to on the place too.
last year i found there a part from a springfield gun and this gun have .303 ammo so i think it was a handgunweapon from a solider!
in my list there are on this place 2 bombers, both are from the USAAF and at this time i just found this place

Hi WNF,
you seem to have the same problem I have:
I also found .303 at the crashsite of "Suzan Jane", and it is sure that SJ was a plan of the USAF
Nobody was able to help me.....

i found last year the backside of a M1903 springfield on the crashsite, so i think this .303 ammo is from this gun .. it was tkane form a soldier on board

the smaller fasteners with "lift dot" are also from the flak vest. they are the fasteners for the shoulder. you can see them and the plates in the photo
Roy
Hi all,
the plates was also used on the bag of the tail guns.
I´m not if they have the same dimension, but I think the plates from the bags are larger.

Hi All.
Funny that rifle parts are being recovered from crash sites.
On the PBY that i'm researching I also recovered from my crash site a single bolt action rifle butt that I cannot ID.One of the perished passangers that was hitching a lift back to the USA was a Army person but everybody that has seen the butt agree that it is a sport rifle for shooting rabbits etc not milatery issue.
If anybody is interested will send a pic for you all to veiw!!

This cartridge base indicated, that this ammunition exploded of the head from outside (fire). the missing percussion cap is a indicator for this.
I have found hundrets of catridges with missing percussion caps only on crash sites.
