Does anyone know on why the ARR Pilot school ranked the school badges in Gold, Silver and Bronze ?

Alex

This badge is a first class award for graduating from Pre-Military Prep course at
the top of his class. It has nothing to do with the ARR Pilots School and is not considered an aviation badge.

Marina Dragescu , uknown place and time near a PZL aircraft, I guess she's gonna land into Mihai's summer palace backyard at Sinaia , otherwise I can't see the reason for the make up while taking shots for a Roumanian paper

Alex

Alex, it's not a PZL. The planes used by "White squadron" ( women pilots) were RWD- 13 ( painted white with red cross).
The reason for "make up" it's quite simple It's a woman ( and a nice one ). All her dress it looks pretty suited and arranged with taste ( evan were military items).

Dan.

Maybe you can post a photo of this aircraft Thanks Alex

Here is a meeting with a German General also at Popesti...though I have no idea who he is...I dont think is Gerstenberg, year and event unknown

Alex

Hello! I believe the German officer might be Generalleutnant Karl Angerstein (apparently still a Generalmajor in the photo). He was the delegated Commanding General of the I. Fliegerkorps on the Eastern Front from 15 June 1943-8 November 1943. Prior to that, Angerstein served as Higher Commander of the Bomber and Dive-Bomber Schools from 9 July 1942-14 June 1943.

Best regards,
Shawn
