Avia BH-12 explained
The
Avia BH-12 was a two-seat
sport aircraft built in
Czechoslovakia in 1924, the final development of the
Avia BH-9 family that had its roots in Avia's first aircraft design, the
BH-1. It was a low-wing, braced
monoplane intended for sports flying, and featured a redesigned wing that could be folded to allow the aircraft to be towed by road. The wing pivoted around its spar and then folded back, flat against the
fuselage sides.
