Hi Boris,

I think that would have garnered a lot of Allied interest, but I've never seen anything about it. I've been through all of the CSDIC interrogation reports that cover defections and escapes by Croatian air crew, along with hundreds of MAAF and Balkan Air Force files covering the last year of the war, but I never found any mention of the two transports in early April 1945. So, if this did occur, then they must have crashed before reaching Italy and the Allies never knew about it.

Cheers,

Larry deZ
