YU-SBD Lockheed 10A
Electra
(c/n 1136)
Six
Lockheed 10As were delivered new to the Yugoslavian airline Aeroput
in 1939, just
prior to the outbreak of WW II. The timing,
therefore, was unfortunate, at least for the
Electras. At least one was captured by the Nazis in their
conquest of the Balkans in 1941
. A
couple were impressed into service with the RAF. None survived
the war. YU-SBD,
seen
above in this nice image
from the Djordje Nokolic collection, was shot down over
Greece on April 7, 1941,
