Mi-4 delivered to the German Democratic Republic
The Soviet foreign trade company AVIAEXPORT delivered a total of 48 Mi‑4s to the GDR -
43 rotorcraft in the transport version, one rotorcraft in the salon version and four rotorcraft in the anti-submarine version.
The first aircraft were delivered in August 1957. So the GDR was pretty much the last member state of the Warsaw Pact which received Mi‑4 helicopters.
The Mi‑4 was the first type of helicopter in the GDR that was used for both military and civilian purposes. On September 1st, 1957, the new helicopter technology was presented to the public for the first time.
During the service from 1957 to 1979, four Mi‑4s were lost in air disasters.
