Maybe you can identify the photos as just in case they weren't posted yet as I haven't seem them yet , in respect to the year and name of the pilots and officers around. If you saw the photos maybe you care to let me know when were the photos taken and based on what events. I am starting with those I found at a Pilot Badges site on Internet about ARR and I am stunned who furnished him these old and yet good quality photos.

I'll doblecheck again but flying badges on the right side and royal amblems on their hats together with familiar uniforms ... It was probably some aero show or something similar or official visit. Anyway that's my opinion. I'll check it once more for sure. Cheers, Aleks

I was just start wondering about badge that you identify as ARR King Carol pilot badge, very nice piece indeed. I think that period must be late thirties maybe even1940. I’ll ask around but I’m not convinced in positive results about place, date and occasion. Anyway it’s nice photo. Speaking of badges, right lower badge on ARR pilot could be of Bulgarian origin considering dimensions, but as you say photo is not too sharp for precise definition, at least from my point of view. I’ll be free to ask you if there is any more material in your collection related to Royal Yugoslav Air Force in one way or the other. Thank you in advance. Cheers, Aleks

Also who is the second German Gen talking to the ARR commanding officers ? Alex This post has been edited by alexkdl on February 06, 2005 08:00 pm

Marina Dragescu , uknown place and time near a PZL aircraft, I guess she's gonna land into Mihai's summer palace backyard at Sinaia , otherwise I can't see the reason for the make up while taking shots for a Roumanian paper

Alex

I'd like to meet her(by my own-Victor is not interested)but she's not in very good health at the moment

As a matter of fact is VVKJ / Royal Yugoslav pilot's badge! Note four letter "S" on the shield at the bottom of badge together with checker and moon with star. And Nemanjic Dinastu crown at the top. It's Yugoslav badge by all means! Cheers, Aleks

As Victor said, the badge worn by the Romanian pilot on the right side of the breast is that of the graduates of the Military Academy.
