Did any Romanians that flew in WW1 continue to fly or crew planes in the AAR in World War 2?

Some of the ARR's Comandori in the 1940s were already flying during W.W. 1. For example, Lt. av. Traian Burduloiu.
Also, some of the ex-Austro-Hungarian officers enrolled into ARR after 1919 were still flying during 1941. For example, Cpt. c-dor av. Cornel Jonas. Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on September 09, 2005 03:22 am |

It was published by the National Office for the Cult of Heroes and they were giving it for free at the last BookFest. It is a pretty heavy book, literally.

Thank you Radu, for the complete information.
I think it would be of great help, if everybody who is presenting a book here, should try to give similar kind of information. So that who is reading and desiring to buy the book, should have a chance to find it and buy it. This is the best way of helping the Romanian publishing houses to sell and the interested reader to buy. Please do not regard my words as a critic, just a recommendation.

How can the book be bought (on-line, if possible)? I wrote to the publisher, but received no answer so far.
