The Letov Š-39 was a sport aircraft produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s. It was a conventional parasol-wing monoplane with fixed tailskid undercarriage and seating for the pilot and passenger in tandem open cockpits. Because the cabane struts were very short and the wing therefore placed very close to the top of the fuselage the cockpits had the unusual arrangement of the passenger's being in front of the wing while the pilot's was behind it.

De Letov Š-39 is een Tsjechoslowaaks dubbelzits hoogdekker sportvliegtuig gebouwd door Letov. De Š-39 is ontworpen door ingenieur Alois Šmolík. De eerste vlucht vond in 1931 plaats.1
