Product Description
- The Romanian military participated in Operation Barbarossa, which began in June 1941, along with the German Wehrmacht. However, due to the difficulties in maintaining their air forces due to the obsolescence of their aircraft and the mixture of a wide variety of aircraft, only the Romanian Air Force aircraft were withdrawn to their home country in December.
- The Romanian Air Force, now refitted with IAR-80s and the newly acquired Bf 109Es, once again participated in the campaign against the Soviet Union, enjoying some success in ground attacks and air superiority until the arrival of the Yak-9s and La-5s in the Red Air Force.
- In the summer of 1943, around 60 IAR-80s were deployed to defend the capital Bucharest and Ploieşti, the largest oil region in Eastern Europe.
