Avia BH-9

The Avia BH-9 was a one-seat sport aircraft built in Czechoslovakia in 1923 based on the BH-5. As with other developments in the BH-1 lineage the BH-9 was a low-wing braced monoplane that accommodated the pilot and passenger in tandem open cockpits. The BH-9's structure was strengthened to allow for the use of a higher-power engine than in its predecessors and for the first time this was a domestically-produced powerplant.
