B-25 Wreck from Patraicos, Greece

Dear fellows I finaly decided to join the forum after a long time I have been visiting it.
My first subject has to do with the recovery of a B-25C Wright engine that came to the possesion of the Hellenic Air Force Museum after a trawler recovered it from a depth of 100 meters. What is known about Mitchell losses over Greece? The cowling in the inside has an inscription that reads 1414 R.
Any help? Nice to join you.
