General Characteristics

The Letov Š-1 (initially designated Šm-1) was a Czechoslovak single-engined, two-seat biplane. It holds a significant place in history as the first military aircraft designed and built in Czechoslovakia after the country’s formation following World War I. Designed by Alois Šmolík at Letov Kbely, it was primarily used by the Czechoslovak Air Force for surveillance, reconnaissance, and light bombing duties.
