Dumitru-Cicerone Bădulescu (23 March 1893 – 26 March 1978) was Romania's only World War One ace. Born in Pitești into a family of career soldiers, after graduating from high school he attended the Military School for Infantry Officers and was awarded the rank of Sublocotenent. Like many of the young Romanian officers, Bădulescu felt drawn towards the then-fledgling Aviation Corps and applied for transfer. He got his wish in September 1916, when he was assigned to Grupul 2 Escadrile as an observer.
