10 Rumanian aviation units stationed at Bucharest were ordered on a state of
alert during one day* in early December 1950. Officers and enlisted men were
confined to barracks during the entire day. All automobiles of these units
were kept ready to move upon signal.
20 All Soviet aviation units in Bucharest were likewise placed in a state of
alert on this day.
3o A few days later commanding officers and seconds in command of all Rumanian
aviation units were called to Air Force headquarters in Bucharest for a
conference lasting five days. The reason for this conference was kept secret.
The official pretext for the conference was a discussion of tactical exercises.
Such a reason is obviously untrue since the commanders of all units would not
have been called to Bucharest for five days for such a reason.
