The next famous unit Bazu joined in summer '43 ( as a replacement for the lost of Lt.Nicu Polizu) was "Grupul 7 Vt." ( 7thFG) as squadron cdt.
His personal plane was a Bf-109 G2 nr "white 4".
With this plane bazu shot down 2 soviet Spitfire MkV on 29 june '43. Witness for this victories were Ju-88 crews wich Bazu escorted that day.

Below a rare picture with Bazu next to rom. Ju- 88 escorted by him on estern front missions. ( Aripi Romanesti magazine)

Ju 88A No. 109A was shot down at Bolshoi Tokmak on 28 Sept. 1943. So the photo was taken before that date.

BTW, does anyone know if a replacement Ju 88 (No. 109B) was given to ARR?

The wrecks are from a IAK -1 or IAK - 1M. The shape of radiator it's the same like in the picture.

Bazu was fighter pilot in Axis forces and Papana was a pilot instructor in U.S., training american pilots to fight against Axis forces. Picture courtesy Razvan Bujor.
