Biplane for advanced aerobatics, single-seater or two-seater, single-engine.

The Breda Ba.19 was one of the most famous acrobatic aircraft of the 1930s and equipped the first Italian aerobatic teams. Of mixed construction, it had a welded steel tube fuselage and a wooden biplane airframe with constant-profile wings.

Between July 1931 and May 1932, 23 examples followed in the normal version and 18 in the “Bis” version, of which at least three were two-seaters, all with 200 HP Alfa Romeo Lynks engines.

From 1932 to 1935, it was supplied to squadrons involved in aerobatic flying, helping to set several world records.

From 1935 to 1938, about fifteen Ba.19s entered service with the two squadrons of the autonomous 3rd Territorial Air Zone (ZAT) group at Centocelle, while in 1935 one was with the training squadron of the Cyrenaican aviation in Benghazi.
