Upon achieving combat readiness, No. 351 received eighteen used Spitfires Mk.Vc with tropical filters. The nearest aircraft in full view on the photo, ā€œCā€ is serial no. JK608. The aircraft coded ā€œGā€ is MH592.

No. 352 was used for ground attack duties over the difficult Yugoslav terrain and unfortunately in short time suffered high losses, mostly to the German flak. Losses included one Squadron Leader, four Flight Lieutenants and almost a third of its pilots.

The Spitfires were formally handed over to the post-war Yugoslav Air Force on 15 June 1945. [Yugoslav Aeronautical Museum]
