Avia BH-10 explained
The
Avia BH-10 was a single-seat
aerobatic sports plane built in
Czechoslovakia in 1924, based on the
Avia BH-9, which was in turn developed from the
BH-5 and
BH-1. It was easily visually distinguished from the BH-9 by the tall anti-roll pylon added behind the open
cockpit in order to protect the pilot in the event that the aircraft flipped over or crashed while inverted. 21 copies of the aircraft were built, 10 of which were bought by the
Czechoslovakian Army as a training aircraft and operated under the designation
B.10.
