Typically in a ditch type scenario there will be bent blades still attached to the hub. How large of an area is the wreckage distributed over. Any evidence of an explosion, as in outwardly bent sheet metal with tears…I think Jim might be on to something on the “junkoverboard” scenario….

With beefed-up structure and the three-bladed hub, plus the location off of Florida, it appears consistent with a Douglas SBD Dauntless or similar.

Based on some of the exhaust piping it looks like the cylinders may have been layered in at least circle configurations.

Any count on the cylinders? 18 would point to an R-2800…but many aircraft used those engines.

These pictures above are pictures of a different aircraft wreck that we have just begun to discover. These pictures are not of the A7 that Besal flew. See pictures of the A7 wreckage by clicking on the other links at this page http://www.tisiri.org/home/aircraft-wreckage-crash-site-tisiri-investigation/
