As I said earlier, to me it looks like a Russian airplane.
The markings are similar to the Russian cockade.

Gen. Dénes

I think they are correct. They fit with the era markings.

I didn't know that the Russians had this aircraft in their airforce.

How many French types did they have between 1914-1917?

Thanks,

The Morane Type L was build in licence at 2 factorys in Russia. They also had many other planes from France. Spad, Morane , Farmane, Morane etc etc.

i have thip picture for trade to other romanian airplane pictures. if someone is interested i wait an offer.
is a Farman 40 crashed at Iasi in 1917 pilot Diacu

someone told me this picture is made around Sibiu. no clue about this, but maybe someone could tell me more about it. french guns? german guns?

Willys at Sanpetru airfield in 1962 , IS-3, MR-2.

Nice pics Horia,

Al

and from personal collection of Sorin Pop - Rasnov/Brasov, the flag of
UNIUNUEA FOSTILOR VOLUNTARI ROMANI
DESPARTAMANTUL RASNOV BRASOV
IN AMINTIREA RAZBOIULUI INTREGITOR DE NEAM

It looks like "Vlaicu no. 2" for an amateur like me.
It seems logical at first, as "Vlaicu no. 3", the most modern of all, was started but never finished. However, Vlaicu died by crashing his airplane "Vlaicu no. 2" into the ground, during his attempt to cross over the Carpathian Mountains. The airplane in the photo looks in a reasonable shape - in one piece, to say the least.
So either the airplane "Vlaicu no. 2" was repaired after the death of Vlaicu, which is questionable considering that a dead body is kept only few days before burial, either in the photo we have the "Vlaicu no. 1".
Moreover, "Vlaicu no. 1" was built in about 10 pieces (this latest information is from Wikipedia), so it was much easier to bring one and make it available for the burial ceremony.
I think only one piece of "Vlaicu no. 2" was built.

real or fake. Graaf Zeppelin D-LZ127 passing over Sibiu. picture made in 16 oct.1929 by Emil Fisher. what do you think, is this real or fake. at that time this kind of pictures were very common. dirijables were trendi and aper in all possible images.
