Re: US plane lost over northeastern Adriatic in the summer of 1950

This does not quite fit your timeline, but a C-47 was "lost" on November 19/20, 1951 and searches were conducted using C-82 Packets.

Other articles describe how permission was given for searchers to fly over certain areas in Yugoslavia.
