Developed from the Avia B-34, the Avia B-534 was a single-seat biplane fighter designed for the Czechoslovak Air Force. First flying o 25 May 1933, it entered service in 1935 with production continuing until 1939. A total of 538 were built serving several air forces during the Second World War.
One B-534 was captured by the Hungarians during the border war in 1939 and tested by the Royal Hungarian Air Force, carrying the code HA-VAB, later given the serial number G.192. The Hungarians concluded that the B-534 was an inferior aircraft to their existing fighters. In 1943 the B-534 was handed over to the Gliding and Aero Club at Győr, and was destroyed in 1945 when the Soviet Army overran the area.
The Soviet Union captured several Avia B-534s which were sent to the Air Force Research Centre for evaluation.
