The Czechoslovakian biplane was an advanced fighter when first flown in 1933, but obsolete by the beginning of the Second World War. The B.534 was used primarily by Germany and its allies, Slovakia and Bulgaria, as a trainer, night fighter, and glider tug. Several variants were produced. Germany converted a few B.534s for testing on the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin, which was never completed.
