| Praga E-51 Czech G.1? Does anyone know the story of this type? It looks like a Czech Fokker G.1 clone, but is it? Most info I found, I cannot read as it is in Czech or Slovanian.

| Hi Marcel, there´s really not too much info on Praga E-51 but yes, the main designer ing. Šlechta was inspired by Fokker G.1 First fligt on May 26,1938. Small comparison is here AirMuseum, can you use any online translator? Should you have some questions, just ask me... Germans examinated it during occupation but stopped the project because of already existing FW189...

| Thanks Roman, I found the translation here. So it was a light bomber. Do you know how many were build? I assume none did service as the Germans occupied the country in October?
