ARR He-112 claims
 
Does anyone have a listing of the claims made by the He-112s of the ARR in the 1941 Russian Campaign? I believe they were all in the early months of the war.

I had not come across ARR before so for those like me who did not know=Aeronautica Regală Română!

Re: ARR He-112 claims
 
The He 112 was mostly used for ground attack missions and after the initial surprise attack
on home defence. Their losses were quite heavy due to that and claims very few.

A quick search in Dénes Bernád's Squadron Signal book the following claims were found

22 June 1941: 2 x I-16 by Teodor Moscu
5 July 1941; 1 "ZKB" (I-15bis or similar) by Anghel Niculescu
12 July 1941: 'Soviet aircraft' by Ion Zaharia
16 Aug 1941: "Soviet fighter" by Marin Ghica

Cheers
Stig

Thanks for the info. I have some info on the claims:

16 Aug 41 From Barbarossa to Odessa which I just found has claims by Marin Ghica and Constantin Runeau but only 1 I-153 of 9 IAP lost.
