Hm…that’s a pretty little machine…looks like the result of DNA engineering involving a Caudron 714 and a Hurricane! Do any of these exist today…and if not, might a flying replica be in order??
Thanx for posting these.
S.
it´s not little, but same as Me-109 or spitfire category with two 7,95mm machineguns and one 20mm cannon, it was better than Me-109 and hurricane, but is´t sad story, after occupation of the Czechlands in april 1939, nazis allowed permited to continue B-135 developing, but after september 1939 they had other priorities… So only 5 or 6 prototypes were created and in 1940 Bulgaria bought 12 B-135. Even 1944 several B-135 fought against US B-24 and one B-24 shot down is confirmed!! B-135 is symbol of Czech national disaster in 1938 and 1939. B-135 was one of the best figher in the world before war, even former WWI ace Ernst Udet, chief of Luftwaffe armament said after testing in April 1939: That´s pity that Me-109 is already in mass production, because I recommend B-135 as main fighter fot Luftwaffe
