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." |
