identification help – mystery Dutch fighter

Or is it Czech?

I’m sure this will be a diddle for many contributors – but what on earth is this sleek monoplane fighter?

I’d post of ‘Wot plane’ but I’m not smart enough to score a turn πŸ™

I think it’s the B.35. One of a series of high angle photographs taken of the second prototype.

It isnΒ΄t a B-35, but a B-135.

Yes – it’s an Avia B 35 Fighter Interceptor from the Czech Republic circa 1938.

Thanks

I can tell you it’s Czech, not Dutch.
