The "Enciclopedia...", currently in the works, written by the site owners, together with Ioan Buiu, seems quite interesting. I hope to see it published soon.

Many new photos were added.

Ruy, from what I understood the enciclopedia is finnished and it will also be translated in English. The only problem regarding its publishing is, as always, lack of funds.

Do you have more information about the plane CV-GOI bearing the name "Regele Carol II"? Who owned it? Why did it bore this name? What was it doing in August 1931 at Los Angeles?

CV-GOI was an EMSCO B-3A (E. M. Smith & Co.) airplane, made in the USA, in Long Beach, CA.
The enclosed photo shows it while still in the USA, prior to being delivered to the Rumanian customer.

This particular airplane performed a long-range flight between Bucharest - London and back, with Octav Oculeanu at the controls, between 9 - 15 Sept. 1931.

I have to check my files at home for further details.

The EMSCO was owned by ARPA. Perhaps King Carol II was the honorary president of ARPA...
Interestingly, the registration CV-GOI was already allocated on April 27, 1931. It was later on changed to YR-AAS.
