Any chance of convincing him that romanian literature on ARR is very very poor compared to all other participants of WW2 ? And that romanian youth has no ideea about what those men had to get through ? His biography/memoires would be more then welcome, it would be a last great thing toward his country.

He had to fly someone(I forgot who) from Tiraspol to Tuzov.
The Fleet they flew sudenly decided to became a glider and stoped the engine.
Dicezare made a force landing between two lakes but the Fleet soped finaly in a water 1.5m deep.A peasant came with ox cart and took them directly from the cocpit.The airplane was left there(and my be there evan now).

Did he mention the exact date? Ask him again and write down the date and the name of the passenger.

If you want to see a really lucky ARR pilot, check out the photo shown on p. 19 of my Osprey book on ARR Aces, depicting Adj. maj. av. Burileanu staring at the hole in his canopy, made by a Soviet bullet, passing just millimeters behind where his head was in combat...

To loose an arm during a combat mission and not to die in 30-40 sec,to land near a hospital,and to be taken to surgery in front of hundreds of other wonded soldiers(by a Finnish nurse)-that's what I call real luck.
In the photo Costin Georgescu ,on the right.He's Dicesare best friend.
On the left Marinescu (Ju 52).

IMO, one of the luckiest was adj. av. Gheorghe Zamfir, from the 8th Assault Group, who was shot down three times on 6 October 1943. And he got away without a scratch.

Yes, the 8th Assault Group was equipped with Hs-129B2 aircraft. I do not know if he is still alive.
