In Bulgarian service, the PZL.43 was used mainly by reconnaissance and bomber units. It equipped the 2nd Orlyak (Bomber Wing) and operated during the early years of the Second World War. While Bulgaria was not directly involved in the conflict until 1941, the aircraft were used in patrol, training, and readiness duties. Following Bulgaria’s entry into the war on the Axis side, the PZL.43 carried out limited bombing and reconnaissance missions over Yugoslavia and Greece searching for partisans in 1943-44. The type remained in service throughout the war, though increasingly relegated to secondary roles such as training and coastal patrol. By the time Bulgaria switched sides in 1944, the surviving PZL.43s were obsolete and worn, but some were still operational. They were withdrawn soon after the war ended, marking the end of their career.
