Romanian Air Force in Operation Barbarossa (Part 1)

Romanian Air Force joined the invasion on the USSR from the first day. It eventually fought against two more major powers in WW2 and produced a significant number of fighter aces. Several fighter types were employed by this service such as Messerschmitt Bf-109, Hawker Hurricane and lesser known ones such as Heinkel He-112 and locally developed IAR-80/81. In this part, we will focus on the early days of Operation Barbarossa. Thumbnail by SPACER https://www.deviantart.com/spacer-bat...
