I found this article:

http://conexiuni.net/arhiva/2012/2012Ianua...nuarie_2012.htm

Is there anybody who knows what kind of plane used the pilot? Or other details about this mission?

Just speculating: maybe a liaison airplane of a bomber squadron. 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.

I found Slt. rez. av. pil. Ioan Voiculescu as member of Esc. 113 leg. in Sept. 1942.
The aircraft could have been a Fleet F-10G.
