Avia is a Czech aircraft manufacturer, notably for producing biplane fighters, but now focuses as an automotive company producing trucks.
1919: Company founded by Pavel Beneš, Miroslav Hajn, Jaroslav František Koch and Václav Malý
1928: Became part of Akciová společnost, dříve Škodovy závody
The factory became Czechoslovakia's biggest aircraft producer during the 1930s and moved to Letňany near Prague
Avia produced aircraft for the German Luftwaffe during WWII, but was nationalised soon after becoming involved in the automotive industry.
1963: aircraft manufacture ceased to focus on truck production, but continued to make aircraft engines and then propellers from 1988.
1992: The company was split into propeller and truck sections, both still using the Avia brand.
