Romanian Air Force in the Caucasus 1942

[Andrey Kuznetsov]

Hello,

I am trying to find something about Romanian Air Force operations in the Caucasus. The books I know about the history of the Romanian Air Force do not give anything on this subject. There is a little bit in the book ‘Third Axis Fourth Ally’ (1995) by Mark Axworthy, Cornel Scafes and Cristian Craciunoiu, but in the description of 1942 almost all attention is given to Stalingrad.
About the Caucasus it is said that Esc.2, 112, 14 were directly attached to the 3rd Romanian Army, Esc.16, 17 - to the corps, and the transport Esc.105 also took part. No further details.

Among the sources listed are numerous microfilms with archival documents, e.g. FI.1.173. I wonder, where these microfilms are now.

I was registered on the Romanian forum (http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/), but have not been there for a long time. I can't find my password, they don't register new members, the email I used for the registration no longer exists. So it's a hopeless situation.

Best regards,
Andrey
