This is a surprise to me, but netherless a pleasant one. Good to see Mr. Antoniu and Cicos found the ressources to publish a new book. Hopefully a very informative one.

Did you go further and buy the book ?!
If yes, could you tell us a few words about it ?
Does it have photos ? Good printing quality ?

Thanks in advance.

Oh ?!
So nobody has the book ....

Those that came to the comemoration of cpt. av. Serbanescu, could have bought the book, because mr. Antoniu had several with him. However, I was the only one there from the forum. I had a chance to browse through it before lending it to someone to read it first.

The book was published on the authors' expense, so don't expect a very good print quality for the photos. Unfortunately, if there aren't any sponsors it's difficult to publish a book in good printing conditions. In terms of information, the book is obviously very rich and has the written declarations of many of the pilots that flew that day, as well as their photos. While the fighter pilots mostly known, the IAR-37/38/39 crewmen aren't and it's interesting, for me, to put a face beside their name. These men and their clumsy machines are most of the time overlooked, even though their contribution to the support of the ground troops was probably one of the most important one.

just found it on the net:

New release from TMA and FRROM éditions (French) " LES BOMBARDIERS SAVOIA EN ROUMANIE". (72 pages, 150 photos).

This book was announced as available in the May/June issue 46 of Airmagazine. I have ordered it by e-mail at the editor 3(!!) times, but no fu__ing answer like usual . Jose Fernandez has an odd way to treat the potential customers ...

The book is basically the text written by the late Mr. Taralunga in the 1980s, and published in the Modelism magazine, with a few additions to the topic that could not be published under Communism (the anti-Soviet campaign).

Mind you, I have not seen the book, so I cannot comment on the layout, etc.
