Re: US plane lost over northeastern Adriatic in the summer of 1950
60th TCG at Rhein-Main AB, (then) W-Germany was the largest C-82 operator in Europe at that time.
Treviso AB, Italy, used as (a) forward base for C-47 search efforts.
USAF planes happened to be there to help in SAR and to do food droppings over areas that were flooded mid-November (earlier heavy rains, Po River overflowed...).
