| Hello Victor, many thanks for correcting spellings and helping with first names. perhaps others will also be able to assist me. do you know whether Sub/Lt. Mihail Romanescu was a pilot or an observer??? i think Diculescu served in both F.4 and F.9. there were many transfers of men from one unit to another. again my grateful thanks. cheers, august |

| Mihail Romanescu was a pliot, I believe. During WW2 he commanded the 1st Fighter Flotilla. |
