    WOW! You had us stumped there. Isn't Avia an Italian make? I do not recall seeing Czechoslvakia having such an advanced design. Hmmm. Shows how much I know. Thanks. Sorry we couldn't help but good work in researching.

    I learnt something new again ! Pity the site is in Czech.... Didn't Avia build Messerschmitt under licence ?

    Thanks for both postings, anyway, Julio ! I think we all found it harder work than anything in the WWII Quiz thread.... :D

    Thanks Julio for posting the image. Great to have to dig through files and do research.

    Martin, yes the Czech firm built quite a few Me's after the war in 1948 under their contract with the German firm. The 109 was primarily changed by the engine which was a larger, boxy fit with a pointed spinner.

    Yes, they did. It was known as the S199.It had a different engine though, the Jumo 211. They were used by Israel in the 1948 war
