Be.60 Bestiola
Origins and Design
This sport aircraft of original outlines was created by designer Beneš in 1935. The Be.60 Bestiola, known for its distinctive design, marked an era in interwar civil aviation.
Production and Deployment
The Be.60 Bestiola was never produced in large series. Most of the machines built were distributed among private aeroclubs, where they were used for sports and recreational activities. Its presence was limited but appreciated in the light aviation sector.
The Be.60 in World War II
In 1939, at least one such aircraft was captured by the Germans and subsequently incorporated into the Luftwaffe, serving in training roles. No further data is available regarding the ultimate fate of the Be.60 units after this period.
