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

Unless it was a USAAF P38/F4/F5 which seems unlikely.
Or unless Germany and its allies had one in the area for some kind of training.
Or unless the Soviets had acquired a serviceable one which may have been possible.
I do not recall any Soviet type that remotely looked like a P38.
The Only other explanation is that it was perhaps an FW 189, maybe they were in that region as they were mostly used for training. Anyone know of any FW189 Units in the region ?
I cannot think of any other a/c that would in a combat situation, at a quick glance look remotely like a P38 ?
