Default Re: Yugoslav OOB 41 additional aircraft

Good point. The problem is that Yugoslavia was not involved in any wars from 1946-91, so we really have no idea if the fighters would have been pressed into fulfilling a role they weren't designed for. That said, let me list what I know about the roles of the aircraft:

Bell 47G and Mil Mi-2 Hoplite: they're helos, obviously.

Ikarus S-49 and Republic P-47D Thunderbolt: fighter-bombers.

Lisunov Li-2 and Petlyakov Pe-2FT: bombers.

Mikoyan MiG-21PFM: fighters, but I can tell you from experience that MiG-21s were used for ground attack during the Yugoslav Wars 1991-95.

Soko G-2 Galeb: ground attack aircraft, and used as such during the Yugoslav Wars.

Yakovlev Yak-9: Yak-9s are usually considered fighters, but Yugoslavia used the TD variant, which could carry bombs.

-------- (the aircraft below this line are problematic, and should definitely be left out if you'd prefer a conservative approach) --------

Messerscmitt BF-109G, Spitfire MK V: fighters. Used as ground attack in Yugoslavia during World War 2, but I don't know if they would have been used as such in a hypothetical Cold War era conflict (such as a Soviet invasion after the Tito-Stalin split in 1948, or an escalation of the Trieste Crisis in the early 50s).

North American F-86 Sabre: fighter. However, the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965 proved it was certainly capable of ground attack. Would the Yugoslavs have used them as such I can't say.

Yakovlev Yak-3 Ubiytsa and Canadair CL-13 Sabre: from what I can tell, these were pure fighters - they can safely be left out.
