Hungary

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.
