Air War in 1919, Rumanian v. Hungarian

There were a few dules fought in 1919 between Rumanian and Hunagrain air units.
I wonder if there were any other comabt loss excluding this one from 12 VI 1919, when Hungarain had shot down any Rumanian airplane.

I wrote about his little known subject a one-page article, which was published on the rear cover of an older issue of Aéro Journal (early 2000s), featured on the rear cover.

Nice to hear that there are some other stories (including this one in SAFO from 2005 by Valeriu Avram) about this topics.

Now I am writing with my friend Rudolf Hofling a story about Austro-Hunagarian D.VII, which was used by 8 Red Squadron. There were several duels among this unit and Rumanian 5 Aviation Group in May-July 1919.

One of the Nieuport 17 C1 was captured and put into service in 8 Red Squadron.
According Hungarian it was in 15 May 1919.
Have you by the way any confirmation this (the pilot's name was mayby Alexander Matache?)

Yes, the pilot was Matache Alexandru and force landed (in enemy position lines) his Nieuport 17 nr. 5027. Probably at the end of may 1919.

We will have two of those Hungarian D.VII in our little card game Wings of War:

If anybody can give details about the Ni.17 color scheme, it would be nice to have it in one of the next kits...

All the best,
