Ivan Sarić was engaged in cycling and motorcycling, but has remained remembered as a pioneer of aviation, who in 1910, only 3 years after the brothers Wright, flew from Subotica hippodrome by plane of his own design and construction.
The author of the monument was the sculptor Oto Logo. In 1985, this monument was built for the opening of the European Women’s Championship which was hosted by the aero club Ivan Sarić from Subotica.
