What many people don't know is that the MFI-9's, or Bolkow later, is a warbird with proven action history. CG von Rosen, the Swedish flying count, brought a number of them down to Biafra and used them to bomb and attack targets in Nigeria in the liberation war, as well as fly mercy missions. They did some damage to MIG's and other aircraft, especially in Port Harcourt. Sturdy little aircraft.
CG von Rosen was later killed in Africa involved in another mercy project. Bit of a Swedish eccentric, but also a great humanitarian. A nobleman with a heart and who put his money where his mouth was. Not too many of them around.
