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

Hello Frank,
" The August 26, 1944 claim (one point) occurred at Pafla, Vrachansko (which is my transliteration of the Bulgarian, and could be wrong). I have not attempted to locate Pafla, Vrachansko."
I looked at Google maps and my own atlas index. The closest that I found was VRACHA.
This Vracha is or is near to a national park just north of the border with Greece.
I just wonder what the route the 82ndFG would have taken on the 26th.
Do you or anyone else have anything on their operational plan ( out and return ) that day ?
Alex
