Gents,

Can someone please give me some info on an ARR pilot named Camencianu Eugen ? I need as much info as I can muster.

Many thanks,

Al

PS - I used the search function, and I already gathered some info from the forum and from the Internet.

Adj. stag. av. Eugen (Evghenie) Camencianu was an 'ace' fighter pilot with 7 confirmed and 3 unconfirmed 'kills' (amounting to at least 14 ARR victories). He flew 73 combat sorties in the 1941 campaign. KIFA on 5 October 1942.

Thank you Denes, I already have this info. I need info on the downed planes, and as such. I have a small archive of about 80 fotos and documents, and I am struggling to ID pilots, planes, etc.

Timeframe - from 1938 to 1942 (his funeral is shown in photos, with comrades)

Therefore, any additional info will be greatly appreciated.

Why won't you ask Dicesare?

I taked to him,he said that he knew him very little,since Commencianu was flying Hurries in Constanta.
But he can recog. people in your photos.

The last on the right may be Hariton Dusescu.
The second on the right looks like Bazu....
The first on the left is very fam.
I can print the photo and let Dicessare tell.

At the funeral of Camecianu should be mostly pilots from 53 sq.
The first from right is posible Pomut, the second is for sure Bazu Cantacuzino, the third is Dicezare (with italian eagle badge), the fourth most probably Lt Horea Agarici.

On the back of the photo it is written:

"At the funeral of our national hero cpt av Serbanescu". The fleet comrades, recipients of Michael the Brave order are paying their last respects.

Also, on the foreground, the honor guards are paratroopers.

Because you didn't mentioned from the first post i made a confusion with Camencianu funerals. cool.gif

So we have to indentify who were with the "Michael the Brave" comrades beside Bazu Cantacuzino and Ion Dicezare. wink.gif

PS: You should forward a copy to "Fundatia Erou Capitan aviator Alexandru Serbanescu" (President Eleonora Arbanas), they will appreciate.

Very nice picture.

In the back of Camencianu is a Hurricane fin.
He had german and italian pilot badges and he drive a Hurricane rolleyes.gif

Some info about Camencianu war exploit from 53 sq:
On 8 July '41, Hurricane pilot Adj. stag. av. Evghenie Eugen Camenceanu was credited with two "Martin" bombers ( most probably DB-3F) shot down at 17.35 hour. The first fell in to Razelm lake, and the second crashed near Nalbant,

I don't know much,all i know is he was a fighter pilot he participated in the battle at Stalingrad and in the defence of the oil fields of Ploiesti.
He was present when the allies attacked the fields with the 1000+ bombers in 1944 i think that was...

Posted by: Dénes June 10, 2009 05:40 pm
I checked some more lists and found no trace of him.
I also asked a well-informed colleague, who also checked the list with military pilot's licenc holders and found nothing.

Therefore, unless proven otherwise, the person you named wasn't a military pilot, or his name was misspelled.
