Rumanian Aces of World War 2

An illustrated account of how the Royal Rumanian Air Force claimed their kills against the Soviets.

Description

An illustrated account of how the Royal Rumanian Air Force claimed their kills against the Soviets.

First seeing action in the wake of the German invasion of the USSR in June 1941, the Royal Rumanian Air Force had been allied with the Luftwaffe since the Romanian government signed a Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy in November 1940.

Rumanian Aces of World War 2 reveals how, despite suffering heavy losses to the numerically superior Russian forces, the Rumanians inflicted even greater casualties on the communists. Locked in bitter conflict with the Soviets until September 1944, when the Red Army poured across the Rumanian frontier and forced an armistice, the modest fighter force claimed more than 1500 kills using primarily Bf 109's, E’s.
