Section Underwater Speleo CAI Naples discovered the wreck of an aircraft of the Second World War in the Gulf of Naples

Summer 2005. During a chat with some of the local fishermen, we were aware of the presence of a wreck in "our" seas in those very areas that we already patrolled by many years.The fishing nets were often entangled in something that was lying for years on end. the network was found something that looked like the helmet of a pilot aereo.Dalle our historical research it turned out that that stretch of water they were talking about the fishermen, had been the scene of fighting during the Second World War between marine and aviation, so it was possible the discovery of a wreck. We decided therefore to probe precisely that of the area and we can find the exact location of the registered relitto.La depth around 80 feet, then diving impegnative.Iniziano therefore expected to establish a preparativi.Si bottom time, useful for a survey: no less than 20 minutes and develops the plan is ready decompressivo.La planning and establish the day, also based on weather forecasts. We are two down and two divers in trimix make us care about 40 meters for the decompression decompressione.Sistemiamo underneath the vessel and begin the discesa.L 'dive takes place in an area where the sea is always troubled, therefore, the visibility during the descent is minimal.
The light came shortly and we continue to share discesa.Giunti, a sudden displacement of a myriad of guarracino that, as often happens, I settled on a wreck, it opens the curtain on what we hoped for: a plane guerra.Ci move away from the top for a first reconnaissance, the aircraft appears to be fairly intact in its central body, but the impact has almost destroyed the top. E 'visible cockpit with controls, which overlooks a disturbed air crabs, now owner of the wreck for decades. We start our video documentation looking for details that will help us to then identify the type of aircraft before which we troviamo.Velocemente spend the 20 minutes we had planned and we are going to reach the top to begin the long decompression. So far we have made 3 visits in "our" aircraft but the charm of the wreck remains, and every once in immersion or by reviewing the video, we take some other clue.
We are lucky, the plane has a particularly unique: the corrugated sheet is presented and this turns out to be a feature of German aircraft known as the Junkers: transport equipment used by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. precisely "our" aircraft is a Junkers Ju 52: was a famous German transport plane that saw Luke in the early 30.Lo Ju 52 was built from the outset with corrugated metal and little attention to beauty . The parts and pieces attached to the corrugated metal structure as well as generating a stronger air resistance. The potential military have not been overlooked by Lutwaffe fact service is provided to it for transportation as bombardiere.Soprannominato Tante Ju (Auntie Ju) during World War II, he served in every theater in which Germany participated. The Ju 52 was still too slow and too little compared to tank hunting, as a result has suffered many losses during the different battaglie.Cosa, therefore, could have happened? We are in the Second World War during the period of confrontation between the Germans and Alleati.Gli objectives of the operation outlined by General Eisenhower, commander in chief of the Mediterranean theater of operations, were very specific: the Allies wanted the Germans away from 'Southern Italy, seize the airfields of Foggia, Naples and reach to leave Rome. This
, known as Operation Avalanche, was one of the decisive episodes of the Second World War that saw the events as theater Salerno, Naples and the water in front of these coste.E 'here lies the fact that "our" wreck into a 'surreal atmosphere where now the time is no longer the protagonist and the scene continues to remain shrouded in mystery.
