The Air Force branch of the Royal Romanian forces in World War II was officially named the Aeronautica Regală Română (ARR, lit. 'Romanian Royal Aeronautics'), though it is more commonly referred to in English histories as the Forțele Aeriene Regale ale României (Royal Romanian Air Force, FARR), or simply Forțele Aeriene Române (Romanian Air Force). It provided support to land forces, carrying out reconnaissance and mounting air raids between other missions.
