your help in my attempt to complete personnel rosters for each unit would be
appreciated. best regards, august

Here is what I could find:

Lt. Ioan Marasescu
Serg. Nicolai Manescu
Lt. Petre C. Angelian
Cpt. Achille Diculescu (not Diculescuachil), but I have found him mentioned as serving in F.9
Slt. Mihail Romanescu (not Romaniescu)
Slt. Dumitru Teodorescu
Slt. Virgil Alexandrescu

Hello Victor, many thanks for correcting spellings and helping with first names. perhaps others will also be able to assist me. do you know whether Sub/Lt. Mihail Romanescu was a pilot or an observer??? i think Diculescu served in both F.4 and F.9. there were many transfers of men from one unit to another. again my grateful thanks. cheers, august

Mihail Romanescu was a pliot, I believe. During WW2 he commanded the 1st Fighter Flotilla.

Lt. Fernand Bonneton. ( was also pilot instructor at Botosani flying school airfield)
