mAYBE YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT WWI. Then i do not no. I even didn't heard if Romanian aviation struggled against its Bulgarian homologue,

They fought at Turtucaia. There the romanian army has been defeated by the combined forces of: Germany, Austro-Hungaria, and Bulgaria. The romanian prisoners sufered terrifying punishments from the bulgarians: for example a friend of mine said his uncle died by being tyed with barbed wire alongside other 4 romanian soldiers, and thrown in the Danube river... :x

The battle of Turtucaia (Tutrakan) (2-6 September 1916): Romania's grief, Bulgaria's glory.

East European Quarterly; 12/22/2003; Torrey, Glenn E.

On 27 August 1916, Romania declared war on Austria-Hungary and sent three armies across the Carpathian passes to occupy Transylvania as promised in a secret treaty with the Entente signed two weeks before. A wave of delirious joy swept over Bucharest at the prospect of annexing the "cradle of the Romanian race."

i'm not sure. according to the website hosting the austrian newspaper(s) of that time, the first turkish troops arrived during the invasion of the dobrudja. i have yet to see an army communiquee confirming the presence of turkish troops during the assault on Turtucaia.

I just realised that the Turtucaia (Tutrakan) episode has already been discussed, in details, on this forum:

sO what about the air struggles between Romanians and Bulgarians. Apart the recon flights from both parts i don't think that any air fights were registed. Even i wonder if both forces had (at that time) any fighters.

The Bulgarian aviation was rather developed in 1913. However, all they did was aerial reconnaissance and dropping a few small bombs. I don't know of any aerial encounters with Rumanian (or other) airplanes, let alone 'dogfights'.
