Rogožarski PVT

The Rogožarski PVT (Serbian Cyrillic: Рогожарски ПВТ; transliterated as Rogozarski PWT in German and as Rogojarsky PVT in some older English sources) was a single-engined, two-seat parasol winged aircraft designed as an advanced and fighter trainer in Yugoslavia before World War II.

In about 1933 its team of Rudolf Fizir, Sima Milutinović, Kosta Sivčev and Adem Biščević designed the PVT, a training aircraft with tandem open cockpits in an oval wooden monocoque fuselage.

[3] Another 40 were delivered during 1938–1939, of which the last 10 had fixed 7.7 mm (0.303 in) forward-firing Darne machine guns fitted and were powered by a licence-built version of the Gnôme-Rhône 7K engine, the IAM K7.

[3] During the invasion, PVTs that survived initial German air attacks were used by the Yugoslavs for reconnaissance and liaison duties.

[5] Fifteen PVTs[a] captured by the Germans were presented to the newly formed Air Force of the Independent State of Croatia.
