When Hungary got involved in the second world war, the WM-21 Solyom
(Falcon) was the only Hungarian designed and manufactured plane in
service with the Hungarian Royal Airforce. It was in widespread
service as reconnaissance plane starting from 1938 onwards. In June
of 1941, the machines failed to make in impression, mainly because
of accidents and technical issues. The planes were diverted to the
training role and were still used as such by May 1945. The Solyom
story starts in 1927, with the Fokker C.V, of which the Hungarian
Royal Airforce had acquired 76, mostly built under license by
Manfred Weiss (WM). WM improved the C.V, which resulted in the
WM-16, with 18 built in two variants. This WM-16 paved the way for
the WM-21, of which 128 examples were built.
