Fell in 1944 in Albania, remembered now . The reason for a fighter plane that looks up the U.S. embassy in Tirana , which was even an announcement , asking the help of the Albanian citizens .
This is an aircraft of type B-24 Liberator that was based in Italy . Took off from there on a mission to Sofia, Bulgaria .
As he was flying near Skopje was hit by gunfire Bulgarian , thus getting fire . The plane was forced to take the return trip , at its base, in Italy .
But when we went over Elbasan two of its motors broke . The pilot kept the plane under control , allowing time for crew members to jump with a parachute .
None of the crew members did not see what happened to the aircraft , nor heard a bang from the fall. After so many decades , the aircraft has not been found , nor of course the pilot .
"We are looking for a particular aircraft and we believe that an Albanian citizen knows something and can help us ," notes the announcement of the American embassy .
Fails , however , to point out : "Do not touch anything , if you get to the crash site . It would be desirable for us to have the picture. Do you start your search for the missing plane , only give us information to take action , "as stated by the announcement of the Embassy in Albanian media .
