This is one of the planes that bombed Foggia?
is still waiting confirmation but the odds are, you might just belong to a plane "ally" of those who in the summer of 1943 razed Foggia causing more than twenty thousand victims, we remember the wreck was found off 
the island of St. Domino by divers of the Marlin Club.
the island of St. Domino by divers of the Marlin Club. "The size of a wing, which is about 13 meters from the characteristics of some components such as fuel tanks - says the team leader of the Marlin, Adelmo Sorci - could be a Hurricane. It's definitely a bomber, do not yet know if a four or a twin-engine: these days we are acquiring serial numbers and codes through pictures in high definition. " The technicians of the Marlin, which already work with the core of the police underwater Taranto, rely upon the advice of the Navy to ascertain the identity of this aircraft that returned to the seabed some 52 meters deep, in early June, while they were engaged in the identification of anchor points for the shipping companies. "It is not the only aircraft that is sunk here - says Sorci - the seabed there are certainly some contrarea abandoned by Italian bombers off the coast of Gargano and slaughtered by the Germans. " The young diver has long been on the trail of one of these unfortunate aircraft, the Cannot Z 1007, a legendary airplane because in fact plywood, very rare. 
E ', however difficult to trace the wreckage of the aircraft "because, unlike the ship - says Sorci - on impact with the water must be completely destroyed, and if the seabed sediment, as the trembling, the pieces are submerged somewhere and then returned how long after. This aircraft, for example, has not descended into the place where we found him. Find aircraft wrecks is not easy, because the technical information on the sinking are rare, historical reconstructions imprecise and difficult to access sites. The discoveries are random. " However, the air, with all its cargo of mystery, there is now. And even on the basis of fragmentary information available, is not the only relic of World War II lying on the seabed of the archipelago. Already in September 2005 had left the research of Cannot Z 1007, after allegations that some share of the plane had been dragged into a trawl vessel. Then the items found were a few, but sufficient to establish that it was a warplane (the type is still in the process of finding). Now, for the alleged "flying fortress" there is much more: a good portion of the fuselage, the wings, the propeller, the landing, enough that that piece of history located on the southeast side of the main island of quakes, being dribbled by ferries and fishing boats. Area exists in fact an order prohibiting the shipping, but there are no buoys, but "Who needs to know knows," said the Islanders ....
