In 1947, Yugoslavia received a large number of Messerschmitt Bf.109s and Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmoviks from Bulgaria. All the Il-2s in question received what became the essence of the future standardized JRV camouflage pattern consisting of medium sea grey (BS381C/637) on top surfaces and light blue on undersurfaces. As of October 1953, this example – serial number 4156/56 (construction number 308466, manufactured in 1945) – was assigned to the Cerklje-based 37th Aviation Division. It remained in service until 1955. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
