Well, the Rumanian air force is one of my main topics of interest, indeed. However, in general, I am researching the history of Eastern and Central European aviation. See, for example, my latest pair of books, dealing with the 1941 air campaign on the Southern sector of the Eastern Front (centered around Bessarabia and Odessa).

You're correct. The mentioned Blenheim was part of Escadrila 1 recunoastere. It was lost in the Frolov area, North of River Don (location as given in Rumanian archival documents).
