"Escadrila Alba-o istorie subiectiva", aparuta in conditii grafice excelente, elogios prefatata de Neagu Djuvara, a avut pana in prezent suficiente semnale pozitive.

I do not yet have the book, but a friend told me, there are quite a lot of photos at good quality. This is already enough, to make me curious about the book. I hate (history) books with bad printing quality of photos.

Could be.
You tought it could also be another kind of approach ?! As my friend told me, this book is more about the 3 aviators ladys, Mariana Dragescu, Nadia Russo and Stela Hutan, with a lower accent on the historical facts of White Squadron and ww2. To bad that Virginia Thomas was left outside.

The film you mentioned ,had nothing to do with the "Escadrila Alba".
Dicesare helped with some dog fight scence.
The rest is what Cainele_franctiror wrote.

What I don't understand is why nothing is writen about the family of M.Dragescu and about her serving in the "Regina Maria Rosiori Regiment". I heard very nice stories about the written above. From my poiny of view ,any book written about "The forgotten era" is welcomed. (Exept of books written by this Donciu guy about the Escadrila From Mamaia,that was a big crap.
