Macchi 205. Mecatti Mario

Hello all

On 11th of April 1944 Macchi 205. crashed near village of Trnovica northwest of Dubrovnik. He was on armed recce in the area of Ston and was hit probably by AAA from Rudine. Pilot Meccati Mario bailed out and was rescued by partisan forces and was back in Italy in may 44.
I have Croatian "NDH Oružnički izvještaj" report of the crash with statement that pilot escaped.
I recently found witness who told me story about search and rescue (he was 8 y.o. kid) and showed me the place of hiding. I also found the crash site and some generic parts.
I have some generic information about this "4 Stormo 91 Squadrilla".
Is there any additional information about this case and also what serial was that Macchi 205 in Trnovica.
Thanks in advance
Antun
