Aggression against Yugoslavia began on 6 April 1941 by unannounced early morning bombing of the city, in which many civilians were killed. During the 12 days of April war, the superior enemy was also opposed by the pilots of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia who downed several German aircraft in an air battle, on the very first day.
