2 unusual facts about Malmö MFI-9


Malmö MFI-9

Von Rosen was familiar with the military trainer version of the MFI-9, which was robust enough to be able to carry significant loads of ordnance suspended from hard points on the wings.

Von Rosen had the planes painted in camouflage colours and fitted with rockets from Matra, and proceeded with a band of friends to form a squadron called Babies of Biafra to strike at the airfields from which the federal Nigerian Air Force launched their attacks against the civilian population in Biafra.
