[edit] Development
The Bü 133 was a development of the Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann two-seat basic trainer. It was slightly smaller and fitted with a more powerful engine, which gave it excellent aerobatic performance.
[edit] Operational history

It was manufactured under licence for the Swiss air force by Dornier-Werke and for the Spanish air force by CASA. Approximately 50 aircraft were produced for each country.
