Aero A.35 YU-PDE

[musec04]

Hello All,

The site at http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/waf/yugo/jkrv/impressed.htm lists a Aero A.35 YU-PDE as impressed in April 1940. Has anyone any information as to whether the aircraft saw service in the April 1941 campaign, or the fate of the aircraft.

Regards,

Clint

Hello,

I don´t know anything about WW2 Service. All in all 12 planes of this type were built. YU-PDE is probably Aero A-35.10, registred on April 28 1934 in Czechoslovakia as OK-ATD. Owned by Baťa Company and sold in 1935 to Yugoslavia (Czechoslovak immatriculation canceled on September 29 1935). This type is transport plane and I would be really suprise if this type (in 1940, 1941 too old) could enter in anyway military service excluding service in air schools or for transport duties.

Hello Michal,

Thanks for the reply. I too assume that if the A.35 was impressed by the JKRV that it must have been used as a transport as the other impressments listed on the site are transport aircraft.
