~~Fiat CR 42~~ Romeo Ro 41

The Royal Hungarian Air Force double seated Romeo Ro 41, used pilot training.
Thanks to a attentive visitor, I now know that this type of air-plane is not the Fiat CR 42, but the Romeo Ro 41.

Tűzkereszt - History

Tűzkereszt is the Hungarian word for "Fire Cross". This was the Hungarian military medal, awarded for front-line combat service between 1941-43. The medal was founded by the regent of the Kingdom of Hungary, admiral Miklós Horthy 24. November 1941. The Tűzkereszt could be awarded in III classes and also posthumous to the families of fallen soldiers.

The web-page is an on-line collection of historical militaria and photographs. Mostly from My personal collection but also from collector-friends and museums. This page focuses on mainly Hungarian WW2 and WW1 Austro-Hungarian militaria. This is a constantly developing and "living" page for the sake of promoting the interest and preservation of the Hungarian military history.

I'll try to answer most questions I get from readers from all over the world. I may not have all answers, but I always try to get the most from my contacts and other resources to help in the right direction for further research.

Communication can be made in English, Hungarian, German or Swedish.
