Doru Davidovici

Doru Davidovici (b. 1945 - d. 1989), was an aviator and writer. Born in Romania in a Jewish family, Doru Davidovici became one of the most loved Romanian fiction writers in the 1980s. During the communist years, his books gave an unusual sense of liberty and new horizons by describing the experience of flying, and the closeness it forged - both between pilots, and between pilots and their machines. The titles include The Horses of Voronet (1974), The Colour of the Sky (1981), Silver Wings (1983) and Rise and Walk (1989). Image File history File links Doru_davidovici. ...

Keeping a sense of proportion, it is reasonable to draw a parallel between Davidovici and the French aviator and writer Antoine de Saint Exupery.
