Re: P-38 lost over Bulgaria on 26 August 1944?
On one side the Bulgarian pilot attacked a P-38 and has his fighter covered by oil lost by his victim.
On the other side, a P-51 pilot bailed out over Bulgaria after oil pressure dropped.
Stoyanov could have shot down the P-51 and confused this fight with another when writting his memoirs long after.
Or he could have hit a P-38 that came home on one engine.
I wonder what Bulgarian reports written on this date or just after exist.
