It's very simple:
Use a magnifying glass and maybe you ll see the plane's number. Then I can identify the plane and its pilot.

From what I have it could be Lt.Col Ion Sandu commander of the 1st FG or another pilot who`s name is not mentioned.

Thank you, for the 1st productive reply. It reminded me to look
into Vantorul IAR-80. In there is mentioned that
Capt Cdor Sandu Ion was lost on combat near Stefanesti,
I suspect it rather with the Russians rather than with the 15th AF
because the 52nd FG specified their area as NW. I read something about
Lt.Adj.Av.Dimache who bailed out......but of course I am just
guessing as he bailed out near Ilfov which is NE

Thanks anyways

Alex
