History

Officially established on 22 April 1924 under the name First Serbian Aircraft Factory of Živojin Rogožarski (Serbo-Croatian: Prva Srpska fabrika aeroplana Živojin Rogožarski), the company was responsible for most of Yugoslavia's air industry in the interwar period, along with Ikarus. Initially, it repaired aircraft which had been confiscated during World War I, but soon started manufacturing its own models, as well as license producing aircraft from abroad. After the company was nationalised by the Yugoslav government in 1946, the factory was merged together with Zmaj into Ikarus, which continued in the aeronautical industry until 1962. During its existence, Rogožarski produced a total of 286 aircraft.^[2]
