Božidar "Boško" Petrović (7 April 1911 – 12 July 1937) was a Yugoslav fighter ace of the Spanish Civil War and professional footballer.

[1] That same year he was in the Yugoslavia national football team and played a match in Paris against the French.

After graduating from university, Petrović joined the Royal Yugoslav Air Force and was sent to Novi Sad to train as a pilot cadet.

He took advantage of a trip to Paris in 1936 with his football team to test out new aircraft, including the Hawker Fury.

[2] After the communists emerged victorious in Yugoslavia following World War II, the government commemorated Petrović by naming several streets after the pilot and dedicating a plaque to him in Partizan Stadium.
