Defection of two Croat transport planes to Italy on 3.4.1945.

Hi all,

On 3 April 1945 a pair of Croat AF transports, a SM.79 and a SM.82, flew away from Sarajevo in direction of Italy, in obvious attempt to defect. According to some secondary sources, both planes crashed en route, with the loss of all men on board. Still, could it be that they made it through? Is there any reference in Allied records from Italy about arrival or interception of any such aircraft on given date, or day or two before or after?

Cheers,
Boris
