Fizir-Maybach
| Designed by Rudolf Fizir, the
first prototype of the Fizir Maybach was constructed in Novi Sad in 1925. On the 8th
October 1926 an aircraft of this type flown by Vladimir Strizevski established a new
Yugoslavian distance record, covering the route Novi
Sad-Skoplje-Mostar-Rajlovac-Zagreb-Novi Sad (a distance of 1410km) in a time of 8 hours
and forty minutes. Subsequently, in September 1927, Strizevski went on to gain first place
in the Belgrade-Warsaw-Belgrade international long distance competition. |
| Towards the end of 1927, the
Royal Yugoslavian Air Force ordered twelve examples of the Maybach powered Fizir.
Deliveries occuring in the following year. |
