Re: P-38 lost over Bulgaria on 26 August 1944?

Peter

Your head up is highly appreciated ! To return back to the original thread of Mr Denes Bernard ,
15th AF did not lose any P-38's or any P-51's on mission to Romania except this of Wise caused
by technical issues , Stoyanov did not lie but was wrongly credited with a P-38, F/O Fernow had
nothing to do with Stoyanov or the mission to Pipera and Otopeni . I recollect my past numerous
contacts with Charlie Pinson who was many years under the impression that two IAR-80 pilots brought
down his P-38 . A later deeper research concluded instead that a Luftwaffe NCO pilot was the
one who fired from his 6 o'clock position . These errors were human made rather lies and
therefore corrected by human throughout the years .

Happy New Year !
