First flown in 1929, the Fizir FN was a successful Yugoslav training aircraft of which about 200 examples were built. During WWII production at the Zmaj factory in Axis-controlled Zemun, near Belgrade, continued for the Croatian air force. Some ten undelivered aircraft, including this one, were captured by Tito's forces in 1944. 9009 was used by the Yugoslav air force until 1947 and then by the national aero club as YU-CAY until around 1960. Prewar Yugoslav markings are carried. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
