Early years
The history of the Bulgarian Air
Force can be traced back to the end of the 19th century,
when in 1892 at the Plovdiv International Fair two
lieutenants of the Bulgarian Army flew with the ‘La France’
airship of the Frenchman Goddard. Later, being inspired by
the flight, they succeeded to convince the General Staff
that the Bulgarian Army should build a balloon force. The
Imperial Aviation School in St. Petersburg enrolled
Lieutenant Vasil Zlatarov as a student, following numerous
refusals from military schools around Europe to teach
Bulgarian officers to use airships. On 20 April 1906
“Vazduhoplavatelno Otdelenie” (roughly translated as
Aviation Department) was created to operate observation
balloons for the army. After graduation Lt. Zlatarov was
appointed its first commander. The first generation of
Bulgarian aviators were trained on a balloon named
‘Sofia-1’, constructed by Zlatarov with materials bought
from Russia.
In 1910 a Russian aircraft engineer, Boris Maslennikov, was
invited to Bulgaria, where he presented his airplane, a
modification of the French Farman III. Following his
demonstration assisted by Vasil Zlatarov over the hippodrome
in Sofia, the Bulgarian Government decided to acquire
airplanes for The Aviation Corps. In early 1912 thirteen
army officers were sent abroad for training as pilots and
orders were placed for five French, British and German
airplanes. In June 1912 Lt. Simeon Petrov[1], training at
the school of Louis Blériot in France, for the first time in
the history of aviation succeeded to land an airplane with a
stopped engine. The event was praised in the French
newspapers and La Poste, and the French mail service
acknowledged it by publishing a stamp. The officers sent to
France completed their training first and returned to
Bulgaria in July 1912. The same year Bulgaria received its
first airplane – Bleriot XXI with which on 13 August 1912
Simeon Petrov flew to become the first Bulgarian to pilot an
airplane over Bulgaria.
DARJAVNA AEROPLANNA RABOTILNITZA
State Aircraft Works, Bojouristhe, Sofia. Aero department of
Ministry of Railways, Posts, and Telegraphs. Subject to
Versailles limitations, but by 1932 had produced DAR-4,
three engined transport for state airline. Of several
subsequent designs, only the DAR-10F of 1941 reached
production.
Jordanov-1
One two-seat reconnaissance biplane (100 hp Argus) designed
and built by Asen Jordanov. The first Bulgarian-designed
aircraft operated by the Bulgarian Aviation Company. First
flight early 1915, but grounded for design improvements.
Flight tested on 7 August 1915 and accepted by Bulgarian
Defence Ministry on 10 August 1915. Planned series production
cancelled. Used for pilot training. Date withdrawn from
service not known.
LAZAROW, CWIETAN
Worked for DAR before Second World War. From 1946 built the
LAZ-7M; LAZ-8 four-seat taxi; LAZ-11 ambulance version of
-8; and LAZ-12 single-seat aerobatic aircraft. All except
the LAZ-7 sporting monoplane were built in prototype form
only. The LAZ-1 OH light helicopter was abandoned before
completion. All powered aircraft production in Bulgaria
ceased in 1961.

05/22/2005. Remarks by Nico Braas: "Built by the Darjavna Aeroplanna Rabotilnitza (State Aircraft Workshop) at Sofia, the DAR 10 was a two seat light bomber, desgined in 1938 by Zvetan Lazarov. It was of mixed construction with plywood covered wooden wings and a steel-tube fabric covered fuselage. Pilot and observer/rear gunner were seated under a long greenhouse type canopy. Two prototypes were constructed: the DAR 10A with a 950 hp Alfa Romeo 128 R.C.21 engine and the DAR 10F with an 870 hp Fiat A 74 R.C.38 engine. They were test-flown in 1941, but no production followed as a result of the acquisition of the Junkers Ju-87D by the Bulgarian air force. The picture shows the Alfa Romeo powered DAR 10A." |
