The Breda Ba.19 was an Italian single-seat aerobatic biplane aircraft developed as an air force trainer in 1928.

Design and development

The Breda Ba.19 was a single-bay, unequal-span, unstaggered biplane of conventional configuration which seated its pilot in an open cockpit. A few Ba.19s were produced as two-seaters with a second open cockpit in tandem with the first.

Operational history

The Ba.19s were used throughout the 1930s for display flights by the Squadriglia di Alta Acrobazia Aerea, performing formation aerobatics.
