I will verify your question, however at first sight I am not aware of any Illegal Eagle
of 450 BG as loss but as a night landing accident in Italy with no other events and an
other S/N than this u've mentioned which was 41-78216 . Then 325th FG 42-103 559
( need pilot's name ) can't find the S/N , however there's a 42-103 599 and I guess
there must be a typing error at your end. As into Welch he was not shot down over
Romania, I don't have his macr and I presume he was escorting the bombers bound
to Romania when shot down over Italy.
