This paper presents an overview of the history of the Braşov IAR Plant (Romanian Aeronautical Industry), taking into account the still unexplored sources (from public and private archives) that focus on its achievements. We can unreservedly nominate this special factory as a “Pearl in the Crown” of the interwar Romanian industry, but—if we consider its achievements compared to the contemporary world—it becomes apparent that it is unsurpassed in performance up until the present day by any Romanian company in the industrial field. Documents are also presented giving all the dates for the beginning of the aircraft factory at Braşov. It is good to know that, from the very beginning, it was a very good decision to build an airplane factory in Braşov, a town with a tradition of aircraft engineering. The paper presents aerial photos of the factory in 1938 and the evolution of products in this period (1927–1944). The factory’s exceptional achievements (e.g., the IAR-80 airplane, and the IAR-7M engine) could only have occurred in a factory connected to the top performance in aviation of the time, a factory designed and built by modern principles, with a highly competent technical body. The paper also presents the symbols of the aeronautical industry in Romania and some of the engineers involved in aircraft construction at the time. The second part presents aircraft built at the Braşov IAR Plant under licence and of Romanian design, their characteristics and an addenda representing all airplanes made in the period 1924–1944.
