From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Aero A.38
was a
Czechoslovakian
biplane
airliner
of the 1920s and 1930s. Following the relatively modern
A.35
, this aircraft was something of a throwback, marrying a
fuselage
derived from the A.35 to wings copied from the
A.23
. A few served with
CSA
, and others with French airline
Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aerienne
. These latter aircraft were powered by a French
Gnome-Rhone
engine instead.
