RWD 13
Six RWD 13 obtained from 1938(?). Three-seat high-wing cabin monoplane. The RWD was built under licence by Rogozarski from 1938, and saw extensive civil and military use. Four standard version RWD 13 and two RWD 13S air ambulance variants were acquired, the latter designed to carry one stretcher case and a medical attendant. 120 hp Walter Major 4 engine. Plans to order 20 more RWD 13S were cancelled when the take-off and landing performance was found to be inadequate. All six aircraft served in the April 1941 invasion, and one was captured by the Germans - later being passed to the Croatian Air Force.
