During the campaigns of 1916-1919, Romanian airmen achieved about 10,000 flight hours, had about 700 aerial fights and shot down some 51[1]-91[2] enemy aircraft, including observation balloons.
During the First World War, 4 airmen of the Romanian Air Corps earned more than 5 victories.
However, by Romanian air victory standards (no shared victories counted), only one of them was considered an ace, Dumitru Bădulescu.
As an air observer, he only shared victories with his pilot.
[a] Two other aces of the war were born on the territory of present-day Romania.
