How much was the costs of the romanian losses from strategicall bomb raids of USA Air Force?
For bulgarians, costs were 24 billions dollars, for example. But for us?

Some additions as they come into my mind:

1. Simeria (south of Transylvania) was partially destroyed, and its rail road interconnection system was badly damaged.
2. Bucharest was hit several times, especially around its big main train station ("Gara de Nord")

The subject is not exhausted, and the list is open.
