However, at least I could see his log book at someone else (but could not copy anything from it). Col. Dénes

It was just before Easter ,and he was exepecting some people.I stayed about one hour.He was nice but not in good shape.He could barely walk. He told me some stories,and we did fine. He's log book is at his house at the country,but he doesn't go there anymore. A few months ago I called again and talked with his wife,who said he's ill and in very bad shape and it's imposible to comunicate with. I'm sorry I missed him ,becoause he lives just near my mother in law,and it was easy to get to.

Thanks Alex Attached Image

These are well known photos, published several times in various books. I doubt they were taken over Rumania.

Alex,

.....

Are you sure?

IAR-81C Ace Muresan say different in his book.

I'll soon quote him regarding gun camera footage in the ARR.

Bed time stories are a lot.
