The Avia BH-4 was a Czechoslovak fighter aircraft and a further development of the BH-3 with modified landing gear and a deeper, more streamlined front part of the fuselage (thanks to its Hispano-Suiza-8Ba engine). The performance was only slightly superior to that of the BH-3, so series production was not started.
