Hi,

only three prototypes of this modern Czechoslovak bomber were (pre)produced. There are clearly visible repaintings of original CZ marking.

Hello All,

Has anyone any information on the final fate of the A.300 in German hands?
Did it survive long enough to receive a Stkz?

Regards,

Clint

Michal

As far as is recorded only one A.300 was built (A.300.1)
The other two prototypes were not finished and were captured still under manufacture. As far as I know there is no indication that any of the latter two were finished.

What is your source that they actually were built?

Cheers
Stig

I have several Aero 304s. Are they variants of the 300?

No, the Aero 304 was a totally different plane.

Nice photo Jan. Sorry about A.300 vs 304 - I didn't know any better....on the other hand those 304s were the only Aero losses I could find in my db from Schulen & other sources.

Hi Stig,

Yes, I confirm I have this info. From my archive, as well as from Czech sources. However, there is a question in what condition, degree of manufracturing the two prototypes were. They might have been completed when Germans occupied Czechoslovak republic in March 1939, as some other a/c prototypes.

Regards from cloudy Czech republic,

Re: German Aero 300
 

Thanks Michal

It means we are at the same level
One built + two partially built, and no further info regarding their final fate.

Jim
The 304 was rather a development of the 204. Nice loss list. It looks like 20 production A.304 were built in total and used by the Luftwaffe and Bulgarian AF.
