It provided support to land forces, carrying out reconnaissance and mounting air raids between other missions.

Of these, around 253 aircraft were organized into the Air Combat Group and fought alongside the Luftwaffe during the advance into Ukraine and Crimea, until the Battle of Stalingrad.

[3] The Royal Romanian Air Force also carried out some reconnaissance and patrol missions over the Black Sea alongside Bulgarian units.

[3][9] The last official victory of the ARR happened on 25 February 1945, when Adjutant Constantin Nicoară shot down a Bf 109K-4.

[11] After the return of the Romanian aviation units from the front on 12 August 1945, the ARR was reorganized by order of the Allied Control Commission.

Unless specified otherwise, all aircraft machine guns have the caliber of 7.92 mm:[23][24] The roundel of the ARR was based on the national cockade of Romania.

During World War Two, from 1941 to 1944, the national cockade was reduced in size and placed in the center of a four-M cross, the seal of King Michael I of Romania.

According to Axis regulations, the engine cowling, the under-surfaces of the wingtips and a vertical band on the fuselage ahead of the tail were painted in yellow.
