Summary/Abstract: The heritage of the Roman History Museum of Romania was enriched during the year 1979 with many important objects concerning the activity of the pilot Nicolae Tănase, the thirty first pilot of our country. He was born in the town of Ploieşti in 1895; Since the age of 19 he has been attending the Bucharest Flying School, conducted at that time by Captain-Aviator Andrei Popovici. As a result of these courses, Nicolae Tănase also obtained a pilot's license.
