History
Designed by Sima Milutinović's team around 1938 as the successor to the Rogožarski PVT, it probably first flew in 1938 and entered service in 1939. It used a 420 hp IAM K-7 radial engine with an NACA cowling.
Variants
About 26 were built; later examples carried fixed 7.7 mm Darne machine guns and a photo gun.
Where you'll see it
It trained fighter pilots for the Yugoslav Royal Air Force until April 1941. Eleven were then used by the Croatian air force, some as bombers, and one by the Italian Regia Aeronautica.
