The Avia S-199 was a post Second World War fighter produced in Czechoslovakia. A total of 532 airplanes of different versions were built and used by the Czechoslovenské letectvo (Czechoslovak Air Force) from 1947 to 1955, and 25 planes were used by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) of the newly formed State of Israel between 1948 and 1949.

The story of how Isreal became a state is a great one, regardless of your politics. The internal stories that show the determination of a small number of people and their willingness to strap on an ineffective and dangerous plane like this and go into combat are legendary.

Although it was difficult to fly and fractious enough to earn the nickname "Mule", I think that it was one of the best looking of the whole Bf-109 lineage (at least of those designs that were actually built as there was a twin fuselage design that was rather like the Bf-109 parallel to the P-82... but not built ).

So many ironies with this. A fighter designed by Nazi Germany that was copied by Czechslovakia the first nation that the original designers militarily invaded then sold said copies to the newly born nation of Israel and used by the very people the designers of the plane tried to exterminate and used it to defeat the invading Arab nations who tried to destroy Israel whilst said Arabs were using the planes used by the Allies to win the second world war that that just ended 3 years earlier

It's not fair to compare the S-199 to 109G-10. G-10 was faster than a lot of contemporary aircraft at high altitude (!), including P-51, P-47, Tempest and Spitfire.

This was the only time when the Soviets supported Israel, just to weaken the Brits, they instructed Chechslovakia to turn a blind eye to our efforts of smuggling airplanes to Israel. This Avia was horrible, cost the lives of so many of it's pilots but this is what we had at that time. At 1955 the Soviets instructed Chechslovakia to supply modern arms to Egypt, an act that started the real arms race in the middle east

In 48 Czechoslovakia wasn’t yet under Soviet boot when we supported Israel, and was actually Soviets may turned the blind eye on smuggling the planes and arms through Bulgaria (arms and ammo) and Yugoslavia (planes flown then via Cypress). As Soviets officially were part of arms embargo. With Spitfires it was just after coup and we were in no need of them as to rearming to Mig15 and also low on reserves of foreign currency. But the deals we’re stuck before commies took over the country. So Czechoslovak-Israeli initiative opposing everyone’s stance/embargo. See how soviet/ruSSian propaganda works?

No, the ones in Czech storage which were initially supposed to go into the airframes mysteriously blew up (suspected commie inside job - leading to Usti massacre of German minority which had support/participation of local army commander who was serving in eastern front under RA command there, those actions led for unrest causing that authorities had no means to guarantee safety of German minority and were one of main reason of the deportation of most German population (actively part, or complicit) to Germany as the only solution to keep order (again good for Soviets as it made the regime control easier and was more effective/easier to exploit)

Ditto for putting "roomy" and Spitfire in the same sentence! As sweet a bird as she is, the Spitfire's cockpit was only marginally less cramped than that of the "Messer." In either case, you didn't so much "get into the cockpit," but essentially "strapped on the plane."😉 At least the S-199 had the greatly improved Galland canopy, which gave its pilots a little more much-needed headroom. The new canopy got rid of most of the reinforcement struts from earlier bf-109 canopies. It also eliminated the many blind spots those struts created, which must have come as a relief to its pilots. I'm just surprised nobody fixed the two biggest headaches of all bf-109/S-99/S-199 models. Those were the hinged sideways-opening canopy, which couldn't be opened in flight, and the emergency canopy jettison mechanism, which often failed when pilots needed it most. Many German pilots died because they couldn't get out of their doomed fighter. On those occasions where the release worked properly, the position of the horizontal stabiliser also made baling out a risky task. Pilots were told to try to climb out and down towards the wing to avoid being struck by the horizontal stabiliser, thus increasing their chance of "getting out alive."
