"Bazu" Cantacuzino fighter planes profiles, Color profiles of "Bazu" mounts .

Alex...your polish is getting better with each post, you almost got it right, just one letter off. Dzien dobry instead of Dzien dobre....but hey a few more posts here and i will start writing Romanian...incidentally how do you say Hello Friends in Romanian?
I hope the modern, post communist era Air Forces of our respective countries of origin will elect to continue some of the rich traditions started during the two world wars. In case of Romania the cloverleaf and the Mickey Mouse insignia comes to mind, in Poland there is the famous "Kosciuszko squadon badge"...first designed and used by American volunteers who fought in the Bloshevik war of 1920.
Those insignias would look great on modern jets and draw on the rich aviation history of both air forces.
And yes, of course I will post the Bazu White "A" once I make it...and maybe Stoyanov's and one Hungarian ( still undecided which ace to make ) as well.

Thanks for all compliments Arthur , I do my best maybe if you know where Jaruselsky lives I may join his staff as aviation adviser if he needs one, I look forward for seeing the models, also please take a photo of the IAR 81 diorama defending Ploesti and repost it under the topic called Tidalwave ,

No street named after Cantacuzino.
But planty of stupid names of streets;Scolarul,penarul tablita-I don't evan want to translate

I do not think that it was named after Bazu Cantacuzino (i. e. Constantin Cantacuzino). There were other men from his family with this name, most notably the 17th century Wallachian scholar (historian, geographer).

Presently there are two streets in Bucharest named after Cantacuzines: str. Ion Cantacuzino and str. Gheorghe Cantacuzino.

The tomb of Bazu Cantacuzino is in Madrid. A photo of it was published in the book of Vasile Tudor.

Thanks for your remarks Denes...though someone on this forum ( possibly Dan) must have this CC books and I would suggest this tomb should be scanned and posted

Alex

Ok, Alex i will find the picture and post it soon.

Regarding Bazu records in Spain, below it's a picture with him in the cockpit of a Bucker ( bought by rom.comunity from Spain) when participated in aviation meetings ( for money like american pilots after WWI).

Thanks Denes for the details.( sorry i put the issue with scrapped plane as a trap for you because I know you have more details from german archiv about romanians Bf-109 fate )
Dan.

Cantacuzino pls PM me with what you want translated - or send it to mytzuATd13-th.com

Ok Mytzu i will do it. But you can start with the pages allready posted on this thread with the fight near Kramatorskaia of Bazu with "white 24".

Thanks.

Victor , C-2, Mytzu sorry I wasnt aware that Bazu would be so little honored in Roumania given his past and achievements and the place carries the name of someone else of a dinasty from the long past. Is also sad to know that a man with his fame which went far beyond the borders of Roumania before, during and after WWII would be of no interest to the Roumanian government ....Î will get in touch with my friends at Maxwell AFB where Cantacuzino records are being kept ( Ops Reunion and Gunn III) and maybe at a later point in time we can bring the subject to the public in Roumania.......who knows there could be some echo

Al

Dan, thanks for posting Bazu fantastic photos and the working on the grave issue , keep it up mate

Alex

Alex unfortunatelly our so called politicians were not even interested in the peoples wellfare so asking them to remember our heroes who fought and bled for this country is too much - they were too busy stuffing their own pockets to notice that we do have something to be proud of (or maybe their comunist education prevented them to honour those men).Sorry if this has a political conotation but unfortunatelly it is the truth Let us hope for the better now.

Thanks for letting me know Mytzu ......think of the next elections, maybe Iliescu may still be the right guy to preserve Roumanian Aviation History of WWII
