Avia BH-7

The Avia BH-7 was a prototype fighter aircraft built in Czechoslovakia in 1923. It was a parasol-wing monoplane developed in tandem with and as an alternative to the BH-6 which shared its fuselage and tail design. Like the BH-6 the BH-7 was involved in a number of serious crashes during its test programme which led to its abandonment as a fighter.

Die Avia BH-7 war ein tschechoslowakisches Flugzeug aus der ersten Hälfte der 1920er-Jahre. Es entstanden zwei Prototypen.1
