Apart from Slovakia, Rumania was the only Axis power to attack the USSR alongside the Third Reich on 22 June 1941. Over the next three years, the Rumanians would fight Soviet forces in three separate campaigns. In August 1943, a new and more powerful enemy made its first appearance in Rumanian skies - the USAAF. From April 1944, the Aeronautica Regală Română would be embroiled in a deadly fight with US aircraft as it struggled to defend its homeland. The vânători suffered terrible losses to P-38s and P-51s and a number of aces were killed. Rumania switched sides on 23 August 1944, leaving the surviving vânători to face the deadliest enemy of them all - the Luftwaffe. Flying indigenous IAR 80/81 and Bf 109E/Gs, the vânători claimed 1200 aircraft destroyed by VE-Day. Their little known story is documented in this unique book, which is the third of five volumes in the Aces series dealing with Axis aces of World War 2.
