Aircraft that vanished in a daring raid on Italy is discovered 40ft underwater off the Gulf of Manfredonia.
A fighter plane that vanished in a daring raid on Italy – just days before the allies invaded – has been found, solving a mystery that’s endured since the Second World War.
Warren Singer, a US airman, disappeared with his P-38 Lightning on August 25, 1943, during an attack on Italian airfields near Foggia, in the east of the country.
The mission sought to blunt Italy’s aerial response to the coming landings, and was a great success – destroying 65 enemy planes, at the cost of seven P-38s
But 2nd Lt Singer never reached his target, and air force records show he was last seen flying near Manfredonia, a town 22 miles east of Foggia.
Now, 80 years later, divers have found the wreckage of Singer’s plane at a depth of 12 metres (40ft) beneath the Gulf of Manfredonia.
