Oddly enough they kept Major Nikola Mikec as his counterpart...

and the thing about Gruda airfield in that period is also very complicated story, surrender of Italian forces, fight with German forces, recce flight of 15(kroat)/53KG in that period...
Thanks everybody for the continued messages, I knew this forum with all its potential would not dissapoint but I got a lot more than I bargained for.

Antun, I was always under the impression that he replaced Mikec? So they served together as the same function?
