Oops I posted the same picture twice. I wanted to do this one. For somebody not familiar with the IAR I found the aerial mast the most original feature of the aircraft and the biggest headache for a modelr. A mast that starts in the cockpit and protrudes outside through a hole...I think only the Zero had a similar setup and the mast was behind the pilot not on the side like here...

Here is a photo never seen before of Major der Luftwaffe Douglas Pitcairn ( strange German name) in its operational room near Otopeni who was the one to detect the TW raid and alert all airfileds and A/A stations including those less unmanned who were on Sunday leave

There was no Romanian 86th AA Regiment. Maybe 8th, but that one was in Dobruja, not at Ploiesti, and was created in July 1943. |
