Description
Despite the favoured acquisition abroad by the VVKJ conservatives, in the early 1932 an idea to develop a modern combat airplane was initiated by two young Serbian engineers, Ljubomir D. Llic and Kosta I. Sivcec, who were at the time employed at the Air Force Command Technical Department.
They worked in secret after hours at llic’s apartment and designed the first entirely Yugoslav made fighter airplane, the IK-L1, which first took off on 22 April 1935. The first 12-series airplanes construction followed in 1937 with the last airplane entering service in February 1939.
At the time of the German attack, on 6 April 1941, VVKJ could rely on eight IK-2s, which served with distinction during the short and bloody April War.
