Italian fishermen net historic 'Jug' at sea
Wreckage believed to be that of a P-47 Thunderbolt was recovered from the bottom of the Adriatic Sea May 12, 2009, by an Italian fishing boat crew. An Italian aero club signed for the wreckage during a Nov. 14, 2009, ceremony in Chioggia, Italy, and hope to recover a serial number from the landging gear during their restoration project expected to take two years. The serial number is a key to Air Force historians so they can trace the aircraft to a specific unit and in identifying who was piloting the aircraft the day it crashed. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech.
