I post here in order not to start another topic . Did somebody has informations regarding a pilot named Ioan Lup ? He was a fighter pilot, lieutenant during the war. He died in 2004 as a retiered general
There is a list of all romanian pilots durind ww2 ?
Many thanks.

I couldn't find any info on Ioan Lup and his grave accident mentioned in the story.

Gen. Dénes

From a picture with an accident of a IAR 37 no 43 on 2 nov 1940 at R. Sarat, it is written one of the member of the crew ( the observer) named Slt. Lupu I. ( Flotila3, Esc 17 Obs.)

Most probably this is the airman who are looking for.

(I doubt that was a fighter pilot)

Many thanks for answer. I think this is the pilot I was looking for. Cantacuzino do you have the picture with the IAR 37 ?
