Yugoslav P-47s - Original Photos?

Recommended Posts

Has anyone by chance come across any photos of the P47s used by Yugoslavia in the early post-war years? My usual search methods and locations have only returned a single highly grainy shot of 3 in flight.

Thanks,

PM me for a copy of the article from the old YUVAM bulletin. It has all you need to make an accurate model.

Hi @jovapad,

 

are there photos of camouflaged F-47s in the book?

Ever since seeing 13019 in Zagreb I wanted to build a camouflaged Yugoslav Jug but was unable to find a contemporary photo of one (I like to have photographic evidence of the subjects I build).

 

Actually, the last link you've posted contains the first picture I've ever seen of such a machine.

 

Thanks!

 

Cheers

Markus

There is a photo of 13024, but not of the best quality. Authors say they confirmed from the photos 13011 and 13024 were camouflaged. They also state that 13109 was camo painted in the museum, not while it was in service. But the photo confirms the style of the camouflage.

Many thanks @jovapad 👍 Seems I need to get this book. Hope it will be available online soon, otherwise a(nother) visit to Belgrade is necessary 😁

If you do visit Belgrade, I've got a shopping list in order 🤣

For all interested in this book - I live in Belgrade, and I can buy it and send it to You through regular post.

Just drop me a PM.

Do you also have access to the BF109, Do17 and SM79: The Yugoslav Story books by chance?

If they are in stock in few stores I know, yes.

If you don't mind, I'll send you a PM about them tomorrow!
