The text does specify that there was no machine-gunner or radio operator on board, specialist which would have only been found on a bomber like the He-111H or the JRS-79B. However, cpt. av. Valentin Stanescu used an IAR-39 in his raids to the Lascar Group and the 1st Armored Division, but the IAR-39 would have at least a machine-gunner.
