Letov Š-32

__NOTOC__

The Letov Š-32 was an airliner produced in small numbers in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s. It was a trimotor monoplane with a high, cantilever wing, and was designed to meet a requirement by ČSA for a machine to service a night route between Prague, Bratislava, Uzhorod, and Bucharest. It could carry up to six passengers in a fully-enclosed cabin which was praised at the time as being "particularly roomy and lofty"."Flight" 1932, 36] The wings were of all-metal construction, and the fuselage was built up from steel tube and was mostly skinned in metal, other than its very rear part, which, like the empennage, was skinned in fabric.

ČSA bought and operated four of these machines. On 26 April 1934, one of these (registered OK-ADB) crashed at Karlovy Vary, with no fatalities.
