Design

First paragraph

"It is considered one of the last planes built with a classic biplane design" Can anyone elaborate on what that exactly is supposed to mean, 'classic biplane design'? Biplanes were continued to be built and developped long after the last B-534 was built as well (e.g. Fairey Albacore).Dirk P Broer 20:15, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Avia B-534 even happens to be a sesquiplane design, in that the lower wing had a shorter wingspan than the upper. So in my eyes it is not a classic biplane design, where both wings have the same wingspan.Dirk P Broer 12:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you will find that a sesqui-plane is where the shorter span wing is half the span of the other, or less.Petebutt (talk) 18:56, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Last Biplane Air-to-Air Victory

The Operational History section states "This was at once the first aerial victory for the Uprising and the last recorded biplane air-to-air victory" when describing an engagement on 2 September 1944 against a Luftwaffe Ju52.

The entry for the Fiat Cr42 also claims the last biplane air-to-air victory, for a claimed Luftwaffe victory over USAAF P-38 Lightnings on 8 February 1945.

Hopefully someone who is more of a student of WW2 aviation can clear things up for the rest of us.Darkstar8799 (talk) 19:20, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Václav Kočí - Incorrect link

The link referring to the test pilot of the second prototype on April 14th 1934 leads to a page about a man of the same name born July 15, 1979. A former pro ice hockey defenceman. I assume something went wrong with the link? I suggest the link should be removed or corrected if an article about the test pilot is available.
