View of the “Letov-Smolik” one of the two aircraft against which G-AABY competed for the Greek order. The twin wooden machine guns which, as the author recalls, gave it an unfair advantage in the fly-off, are seen in the photograph. Designated Letov S16, it was designed by Alois Smolik and made its debut in 1926.
