Aero Vodochody A.101

සාරාංශය

The Aero A.101 was a biplane light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft built in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s. 30 A.101s were built for the Czechoslovak Air Force in 1935–1936. The Spanish Civil War resulted in the surviving 28 aircraft being sold to the Spanish Republican forces in 1937, but a ship carrying some of the A.101s was captured by the Nationalists on the way to Spain, resulting in the type being used by both the Republican and Nationalist sides of the war. 65 more examples of a revised version, the Ab.101, were built for the Czechoslovak Air Force from 1937, and served until the German invasion in March 1939.
