What I've found instead is Aeronautica (Regala) Româna. That's why I introduced in my 'Rumanian Air Force, The Prime Decade (1938-1947)' book, printed in 1999, the term Aeronautica Regala Româna (ARR), for the first time. Nevertheless, most Rumanian authors still continue to use FARR, possibly for convenience. They don't appear to revert to ARR for some particular reason... I must compliment Victor, however, who is one of the few Rumanian researchers who reverted to the ARR acronym. Dénes P.S. By the way, FARR was the abbreviation of Federatia Aeronautica Regala Româna

Often, documents use only a shorter form, like Aeronautica Româna, or simply Aeronautica. I never saw the form Fortele Aeriene Romane mentioned. Dénes

And Ive accepted it as probable so I have used it in the text as such Seems I will have to change things now Thanks Denes for opening my eyes
