| More about this book. I ll post in Romanian. Cartea ,,MISIUNI DE SACRIFICIU: GRUPUL 1 VANATOARE IN APARAREA TERITORIULUI NATIONAL (APRILIE-IUNIE 1944), publicata de Editura Militara, va fi lansata oficial in cadrul Salonului de Carte Militara „Polemos” (26-29 OCTOMBRIE 2011). Lucrarea are aproximativ 300 de pagini, fiind bogat ilustrata (circa 100 de fotografii) si cu multe informatii (tabele, harti, documente originale, memorii etc.) desprea activitatea Grupului 1 Vanatoare aflat pe aerodromul de la Rosiorii de Vede. Prefata lucrarii este semnata de domnul prof. dr. Valeriu Avram. Din aceasta prefata redam urmatorul fragment : Cartea semnatã de Alexandru Armã si Sorin Turturicã are toate ingredientele pentru a da contur unui asemenea eveniment: reconstituie un episod putin cunoscut – actiunile Grupului 1 Vânãtoare în primãvara si vara anului 1944 –, este bazatã pe o amplã cercetare a arhivelor militare si a surselor bibliografice si rememoreazã faptele de arme, unele eroice, ale pilotilor de vânãtoare români într-o confruntare inegalã cu aviatia de luptã americanã, superioarã tehnic si covârsitoare numeric. Suntem de aceea convinsi cã lucrarea celor doi tineri cercetãtori va fi bine primitã nu numai de comunitatea istoricilor militari si de „nucleul dur” al fanilor cãrtii de aviaþie, ci si de un public mai larg, dornic sã afle adevãrul despre momente ale istoriei noastre învãluite în legendã, asa cum este bombardamentul din 4 aprilie 1944 asupra Bucurestiului. |

| I have the book, bought from book fair at Cercul Militar Bucuresti. It is very interesting and i'm glad that so many people put interest in collaborating with the autors, helping with data and pictures. Congratulation!!...imo it is an important piece completing the road of publications on ARR history. |
| Posted by: muggs October 28, 2011 02:02 pm |
| Can it be bought also from the small bookshop there ? |

| I just read the book. It's a book that deserves all the attention from the aviation history enthusiasts. Very well documented . Congratulations to the authors! |
| Posted by: muggs November 11, 2011 10:10 pm |
| I ordered it online but for some reason i never got a confirmation or the book...will try to go and pick it up personally. |
| Posted by: Fratello June 24, 2012 07:53 pm |
| The book is already sold out. Here you can read the review made by Acad. Florin Constantiniu in ,,Istorie si Civizilatie" magazine (nr. 30/March 2012). Unfortunately, he passed away on 14 April 2012. We have the deepest respect for him. http://www.isciv.ro/editorial/vanatori-pe-cerul-romaniei-de-acad-florin-constantiniu |
| Posted by: muggs June 24, 2012 08:49 pm |
| Congrats for the "sellout" ! Will read it myself soon enough |
| Posted by: Vranceanu June 27, 2012 05:22 pm |
| I know one of the autors. Sorin Turturica is a very good historian of romanian aviation. I don't know who is Alexandru Arma, I never heared about him. |
| Posted by: Fratello July 01, 2012 10:46 am |
| Good news! There are strong chances that this autumn the book "Missions of sacrifice" will be republished in an updated version. |

| Would love to see more pics if it's possible ! |

I expect the second tome of "Teleormanul si aeronautica" since 5 years. I only ask if for the second tome the introduction will be also writen by the mayor of Rosiorii de Vede, or not..............  This is the question. |
| Posted by: Fratello June 02, 2013 04:47 pm | ||
BTW Mr. Focsa, I expect from you a ,,real book" about Dan Vizanty written by yourselef not by Dan Vizanty and Ana Maria Vizanti. |
| Posted by: cainele_franctiror June 02, 2013 05:21 pm |
| Mr. Focsa, when you will publish your first book, let us know... If you can write one... Can you? That's the question... |
| Posted by: cainele_franctiror June 02, 2013 05:45 pm | ||
Mr. Focsa, I like what you said here about me. Anyway, if you don't know who is Alex Arma, you don't know much about who is writing aviation history in Romania. Just read his last book about 1943 Ploiesti Raid (the other author of this book is Valeriu Avram) |
| Posted by: Vranceanu June 02, 2013 07:46 pm |
| Why you attack me so fast, I only asked if the mayor of Rosiorii de Vede, who has written the introduction to your book in 2008, will write again for the second volume. I remember the same year, in 2008, I was publishing a book with an introduction written by Neagu Djuvara. This is the... answer. |
| Posted by: Vranceanu June 02, 2013 08:55 pm | ||
Really ?????You have a great sense of humour |
| Posted by: Fratello June 02, 2013 08:58 pm |
| Mr Focsa I don't know why do you insist in your stupid "vendetta " with Sorin Turturica and what do you want to prove. With your every action against Sorin Turturica you just show us your frustration. I think you are jealous on his work, especially on his last book - ,,Aviatoarele Romaniei". If you want to prove something, writte a better book if you can. If no see of your business and let us to do our job. PS> I remember you also that in the introduction of your book ,,Dan Vizanty. Destinul unui pilot de vânătoare", Mr Neagu Djuvara gave you a history lesson about 23 august 1944 events. I qoute from you book: ,,Vine însă dramatica zi de 23 august 1944. Aici voi face o critică severă - nu Doamne ferește, lui Vizanty, ci autorului nostru, Daniel Focșa..." (p.10). |
| Posted by: Vranceanu June 02, 2013 09:14 pm |
| Did I said something about "Aviatoarele Romaniei ?" I didn't read this book, so how can be "gelous" ? Believe me, I couldn't be gelous to a book written by Mr Turturica About Neagu Djuvara, yes, he didn't agree my vision about 23 august, so what ? He liked my book and has written 6 pages of introduction. I was honoured evan by his critics. |
| Posted by: Vranceanu June 03, 2013 12:05 am | ||
But do you really know what a book is ? A good one ? Do you ever heard about analysis, synthesis, critical thinking ? All you have written since now are chains of facts and documents, very very boring like style, which in fact, doesn't exist in your books. I recomand you to read some historians like Charles Diehl or Steven Runciman to see what is really a history book. |

| Think of Alex Kdl and how attention was the fuel that kept the fire burning. Cut off the fuel supply. It may burn for a while, then smoulder, but eventually it will fizz and wither to a faint puff. Radu |

Wishful thinking... "What we have here is failure to communicate" (and so on)... There are two guys in here crossing (s)words, so I'd think a moderator should step in. |
| Posted by: Ferdinand June 03, 2013 11:25 am | ||
it is Sorin Turturica's secret weapon!  |

You are right, Radu. |
| Posted by: Fratello June 03, 2013 03:42 pm |
| My comment maybe wasn't noticed so I'll repeat it again. Second (and revised) edition of the book is now available. http://www.edituramilitara.ro/shopping/mis...a-ii-a-264.html |
| Posted by: Dénes June 04, 2013 02:12 pm |
| Can you tell us in what the updates consist? I would like to see if the new edition is worth purchasing. Gen. Dénes |
| Posted by: Fratello June 04, 2013 04:43 pm | ||
New cover, some text updates and new photos...and the same price. |
| Posted by: Vranceanu June 04, 2013 05:11 pm |
| I think Mr Denes asked in what consist more precisely the text updates... I don't think somebody is interested to buy the same book for a new cover (evan the cover includes Florin Constantiniu's applaudations for the authors....). |
| Posted by: cainele_franctiror June 04, 2013 06:00 pm | ||
Thank you for your opinion! Is very important for us! |
| Posted by: Fratello June 04, 2013 06:45 pm | ||
Mr Focsa we dind't know that you're so interested of our book. This is a good sign. Maybe one day you ll appreciate us. |
| Posted by: Radub June 04, 2013 08:35 pm |
| They say that "success is the best form of revenge". Keep writing, we need as many books on Romanian aviation as we can get. Radu |
| Posted by: Fratello June 05, 2013 01:37 pm |
| I agree with you, Radu. |

Well, sorry I don't post something of value. I am too busy to publish history books, so I am quite rare on forums. |
