Résumé ou extrait
- "Apart from Slovakia, Rumania was the only Axis power to attack the USSR alongside the Third Reich on 22 June 1941. Over the next three years, the Rumanians would fight Soviet forces in three separate campaigns. In August 1943, a new and more powerful enemy made its first appearance in Rumanian skies - the USAAF. From April 1944, the Aeronautica Regalã Românã would be embroiled in a deadly fight with US aircraft as it struggled to defend its homeland. The vânãtori suffered terrible losses to P-38s and P-51s, and a number of aces were killed. Rumania switched sides on 23 August 1944, leaving the surviving vânãtori to face the deadliest enemy of them all - the Luftwaffe. Flying indigenous IAR 80/81s and Bf 109E/Gs, the vânãtori claimed 1200 aircraft destoyed by VE-Day. Their little known story is documented in this unique book, which is the third of five volumes in the Aces series dealing with Axis aces of World War 2." (4e de couv.)
- "First seeing action in the wake of the German invasion of the USSR in June 1941, the Royal Rumanian Air Force had been allied to the Luftwaffe since the Romanian government signed a Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy in November 1940. This book reveals how, despite suffering heavy losses to the numerically superior Russian forces, the Rumanians inflicted even greater casualties on the communists. Locked in bitter conflict with the Soviets until September 1944, when the Red Army poured across the Rumanian frontier and forced an armistice, the modest fighter force claimed 1500+ kills using primarily Bf 109's, E's."
