History
It was designed by Sima Milutinović to a January 1937 Yugoslav Navy specification to replace the Ikarus IO flying boat. The first prototype flew on 8 February 1938.
Variants
The first six production aircraft (Series O) lacked the nose turret; the second batch of six (Series 1) had a cantilever wing and 270 hp Argus As 10 engines. A third batch of 12 with Argus As 410 engines was interrupted by the 1941 invasion.
