Amazing discovery of IAR80 no 371(Esc 44) remains. The airplane was shot down on 15.07.1944 by a Mustang, while defending Brasov area.
The Pilot: Gheorghe Popescu/ died shot in air as the official report . I will add info's later.  His Fighter:  Copyright Radu Branzan. This post has been edited by Victor on May 28, 2013 05:45 am |

Picture taken by investigators in July 1944.
 You can see(if you have imagination!) the fuselage and cockpit of IAR 80 no 317 laying on left side, wings detached. |

Very nice find! I have a similar piece of wing panel, though the base colour is brown, not green, as here. Gen. Dénes |

Yes, Congrats to your work, excellent info on the facebook too! And more, and more discoveries
.I hope you don't mind, however I would like to ask you if the land configuration resembles with that of photo. Excepting the vegetation of course. In the photo appears to be a plane field. (Could be another IAR fighter, maybe) Regards, Alexandru |
