1. Aero A101.19, 71. letka, 6.LP, Praha, 1935
The motive for the creation of the type was the effort of the Czechoslovak Ministry of Defense to find a use for a stock of fifty Praga Asso engines (licensed by the Italian Isotta Fraschini Asso), which were originally to be used in Aero A-42 bombers. But the planned serial production of the A-42 did not take place, and the pre-purchased engines were stored in military warehouses from 1932. The Ministry of Defense therefore made the next order for the A-100 conditional on the use of Asso engines. The airframe was enlarged and strengthened because the Asso engine was heavier than the original Avia Vr.36. The prototype first flew on December 12, 1934. Although the new engine was more powerful, the A-101’s performance was weaker than that of the A-100.
