Avia BH - 21 The Avia BH - 21 , first built in 1925 , was a robust biplane that served an important role in securing Czechoslovak national security during the period between World War I and World War II . As well as being a competent fighter , it was also an accomplished racer , winning several air races of its time . History . A conventional biplane , the predecessor of the BH - 21 , the Avia BH - 17 , was designed by Pavel Beneš and Miroslav Hajn in 1922 as a response to a Czechoslovak Defense Department requirement for a new fighter aircraft . The BH - 17 was actually only part of five Avia designs submitted to the Defense Department along with competing designs from the Letov Kbely and Aero companies . After extensive review , the BH - 17 , one of Avia ' s three biplane designs , was chosen and limited production initiated for evaluative purposes . Testing revealed some deficiencies in the BH - 17 and a subsequent redesign in 1924 morphed the BH - 17 into its final form as the BH - 21 which included straightened interplane bracing and allowed for better field of view for the pilot . A special training version , designated the BH - 22 , was also created . Both versions utilized 224 kW ( 300 hp ) Hispano - Suiza 8 fb engines built under license by Škoda . The BH - 21 was put into production in 1925 and had a one - year production run which yielded 182 aircraft with 137 being produced by Avia for the Czechoslovak Air Force , one more was built by Avia for SABCA and another 44 were produced under license by the Belgian company , " Société Anonyme Belge de Constructions Aéronautiques " " SABCA " for the Belgian Air Force . There were also two experimental variants : BH - 21J with Jupiter engine ( predecessor of BH - 33 ) and a race plane BH - 21R with boosted HS - 8Fb engine ( 298 kW / 400 hp ) . While in service , the BH - 21 saw no combat as it was retired before the outbreak of World War II . In spite of this , it served as an important stepping stone to the more advanced BH - 33 and BH - 53 types . The BH - 21 ' s most lasting achievement came when a racing version , the BH - 21R , won several national air - race competitions in 1925 sporting an upgraded HS 8Fb engine producing over 298 kW ( 400 hp ) .
