Avia BH-28 explained
The
Avia BH-28 was a military reconnaissance
biplane aircraft developed in
Czechoslovakia in 1927 to meet a requirement for such an aircraft by the government of
Romania. Avia based the design on their
BH-26, but replaced the
engine with an
Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar, as specified in the requirement. The completed aircraft was taken to
Bucharest for demonstration, but no order ensued, and this
prototype was the only example constructed.
