Re: Inscription on reverse of photo? Place name?

So...checking Larry's fine works on Airfields.....

1. For the purpose of this reference work, “Romania” generally means the territory that was located within the boundaries of Romania immediately following the so-called Vienna Award of 30 August 1940 whereby Romania, acting under Axis pressure, ceded the majority of Transylvania to Hungary. The list does include Moldavia but does not include the airfields in Bessarabia and Bukovina, which were seized by Russia in 1918:
1.1 Moldavia (Moldova, Moldau): a pre-war Romanian province bordered on the east by the Prut (Pruth) River.
1.2 Bessarabia, a province of Romania since 1918-19, seized by Russia on 27 June 1940 and not recovered by Romania until June 1941. These airfields are listed with Russia.

Balti (UKR/BESSARBIA): see Russia and Ukraine Airfields.
