"Stalk" plane over Yugoslavia, summer 1944

I am writing a book about my father's WWII and want to fill in a small gap. My father was an escaped POW in Yugoslavia, west of Belgrade, during the summer of 1944. A Brit who was with him has told me that they sometimes had to scramble to safety when a "Stalk" plane appeared. The Brit said it was a two- or three-seater, was a "spotter" plane and dropped small anti-personnel bombs and machine-gunned them. No one in my father's group was harmed because they also took cover in the trees.


I'd like to have a more accurate description of the aircraft. Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Tyler Bridges
