Interesting so far, I will post a more detailed reply when i finish reading it .
For now I'll say that puts a different perspective on the marshal image than the books published by authors like Ancel Jean .

Well I'm currently reading "Dulce ca mierea e glontul patriei" (Sweet as honey is the bullet of the motherland) by Petru Popescu. It's quite a nice book, though there are a bit too many artistic descriptions. The book describes the authors military stage in communist Romania as well as a romance during that time. It's well worth reading and I found it extremely cheap for it's content.

A great book

many pictures from RSR/RPR period!

Among the many books published by "Editura Militară", I've just read (and used) two really interesting ones:
Petre Otu: "Pace şi război în spaţiul românesc, secolul al XX-lea" (Peace and War in the Romanian Space, XX-th Century), in fact a collection of articles written (by Mr. Otu) about this subject in the last years. Among them, about the "Şeba Case", the military attache of Czechoslovakia at Bucharest, who wrote a book about the relations between Ro, Cz and USSR; another good story about the "Tudor Vladimirescu Division", a real Trojan Horse of Soviets in Romania (well, as if they needed one more, along the PCdR and the victorious Red Army...) and many others.
Elena-Iuliana Lache: "Statutul internaţional al României de la război la pace. 1939-1947" (Romania's International Statute from War to Peace). It's a well-documented PHD thesis studying Romania from the Molotov-Ribbentrop Treaty until the Paris Peace Treaty.

Sa inteleg ca de acum putem scrie in romaneste, ca face radub traducerea pe urma ?

No, of course

No, just Mr. Antoniu can do that. And it's not just Radu that translates when needed. I do it also. It is a form of courtesy for someone who has invested a lot of effort throughout several decades in the study of Romanian aviation and does not master the English language.

Oh really ?
I thought the rules are the same for everybody.

And how will read romanian posts, the non-romanian readers ? I thought this forum is in English just for this. If it a form of courtesy for an author, in the same time is a form of non-courtesy for all the readers which don't understand romanian language.
