Re: Romanian air units participating in Case Blue

If you search for author Denes Bernard you will find a work dealing with the early operations in the south. I feel sure it includes orders of battle.

You have omitted the Hurricane unit, the Blenheims, the He112s, and a number of units equipped with the P-24. The Romanians also gained a large number of ex-Polish aircraft, and put the P-11, P-23 and P-37 into use, that first probably only as a trainer.

I suspect the IAR 80, being a P-24 development, probably was not available for Barbarossa, but this should be made clear in the writings on the type and by Denes Bernard, who can be strongly recommended.
