Lt. C-dor av. Popisteanu was shot down by a single Yak-1. He was wounded and tried to force land his stricken aircraft, however, he died in the process. His Bf 109E crashed at Marienthal, near Tiraspol.
I mentioned the circumstances of his death in the second volume of my book, From Barbarossa to Odessa, on page 134. Gen. Dénes |

I had three different stories about the way he died. That's why I decided to use the main document of the 1st Fighter Flotilla. Anyway, I also discovered that the plane who took his body home, in Bucharest, was a DC.2 (was to late to mention in the book, but I could mention that when I explained the pictures of this plane, which is inside the book).
About the place where his plane hit the ground Mr. Di Cesare also insisted that was near Vasilievka. |

I believe you actually mean bookstore (so non-Rumanians would know where can they purchase the book if nearby).

I went to buy it last week, but the person in charge of book sales in on vacation until 7 September. So, if you ordered it or just plan to go there and buy it, wait for 2 more weeks.

I just got the book and it looks very interesting.
I have one observation about the photo at the bottom of page 265 captioned: "Soviet plane set on fire by the pilots from Pipera ". The plane in this picture is a Messerschmitt Bf.109G-2, very likely a Romanian plane. Radu |

Well, if it is so (or a F type) I mistaken it with a LaGG 3 fighter... mea culpa. But the plane is almost entire burned.
