It was originally intended as a fast six-passenger mail plane and its V1 prototype flew in November 1934. Following tests and design improvements in-line and radial engine powered aircraft were evolved, represented by the Do 17E/F and Do 17K/M/P, respectively. The most recognised and mass-produced variant was the Do 17Z series, with the Z-2 bombers and Z-3 long-range reconnaissance planes. Due to its fuselage outline it was dubbed the 'Flying Pencil'. The Do 17 was a four-seat, all-metal monoplane powered by two Bramo Fafnir radial engines. It had a shoulder wing configuration and twin tail fins. Its long thin fuselage was fitted with a stepped cockpit and a glazed nose. Its bombload was 1,000 kg and it was fitted with six machine guns. The Z-3 variant had reduced bombload, while carrying two recce cameras. Do 17Zs were produced by four factories and in total some 880 aircraft were built. The Do 17 was used throughout the war, and saw action in significant numbers in every major European campaign theatre as a front line aircraft until the end of 1941. The last airworthy operated aircraft being used by the Finnish Air Force were eventually scrapped 1952.

Designed at the VZLU Aeronautical Research and Test Establishment in Prague in 1954-56, its prototype first flew in March 1956. It is an all-metal monoplane, with the fuselage of a semi-monocoque construction and high set wings with characteristic forward sweep. Its cockpit is enclosed by a two-piece acrylic glass canopy. The flaps and control surfaces are fabric covered and the fuselage is provided with a single-wheel semi-retractable landing gear and a fixed tail skid. The L-13 entered production in 1958 and quickly gained popularity as an inexpensive and durable type, which was easy to fly and operate. It was widely adopted in the former Eastern Bloc countries and was also exported in large numbers to Western Europe, North and South America. In total, more than 2600 Blanik gliders had been produced by 1978, while a small batch of a modernised L-13A variant was built in 1981-82. It became the most numerous and widely used trainer glider in the world.

RAF' The Bristol Beaufighter was a British heavy fighter, whose first prototype flew in July 1939. The Mk.IF was a high performance fighter and efficient night-fighter employing the then novel AI radar. It was a two-seat, twin engine, all-metal mid-wing cantilever monoplane, fitted with a retractable undercarriage. It was powered by two Hercules radial engines and the armament consisted of four cannons in the nose, four guns in the starboard wing and another two guns in the port wing. The Beaufighter Mk.VIF, introduced in 1942, was fitted with more powerful engines and its wing mounted guns could be replaced by additional fuel tanks to extend the aircraft's range. Total production of the Mk.I (both F and C variants) reached 914 aircraft while some 1,840 Mk.VI aircraft were produced. Late series Mk.VIs were fitted with a dihedral tailplane with increased span. From late 1943, a new AI Mk.VIII radar was installed in a "thimble-nose" radome, enabling all-weather and night attacks. Beaufighters were taken on charge by No.68 Sq. RAF in May 1941 and from the next July, the unit always had a strong element of Czechoslovak pilots in exile with up to eight flying crews consisting entirely of Czechoslovak personnel. The Czech crews of No.68 Squadron were credited with 24 aerial victories (of which 3 were probable), seven damaged planes and three destroyed V-1 flying bombs.

The first production model was the Mk.I, which became operational in January 1937. An improved Mk.II version followed in 1938 and eventually 270 aircraft of this Mark were built. The Gladiator Mk.II was a single-seat biplane of metal construction with mixed fabric and metal covering. It was fitted with a fixed undercarriage and powered by a Mercury radial engine turning three-blade metal propeller. Its armament consisted of four guns, of which two were mounted in the fuselage and two under the lower wings. The Gladiator was the RAF's last biplane fighter aircraft and the first with an enclosed cockpit. Although rendered obsolete by newer monoplane designs, it proved good in initial combats and saw action in almost all theatres during the WWII. Gladiators (both the Mk.I and Mk.II versions) were successfully exported to many countries and saw service with more than 15 air arms, including those of Belgium, China, Egypt, Finland, Free France, Greece, Iraq, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania and Norway. They also equipped RAAF and SAAF squadrons in the Middle East and North Africa and flew in secondary roles such as Meteorological Flights. Portugal took delivery of 30 Gladiator Mk.IIs while Sweden flew their 55 planes under military designation J 8 and J 8A.

After protracted development the prototype flew in November 1942. The first fighter variant to be delivered was the He-219A-0, which was actually identical to the 'A-2'. It was equipped with four cannons in the ventral tray and two guns in the wings. The He-219A-5 was the first major production version, being similar to the previous 'A-2' model but with an extended range, while the final variant was the He-219A-7, fitted with improved engines. The He-219 was a two-seat, all-metal monoplane powered by two Daimler-Benz DB 603 in-line piston engines. Nearly 300 of all the He-219 models were built and although the type proved to be a capable fighter, it saw only limited service; had they been available in quantity, they might have had a significant effect on the strategic night bombing offensive of the Allied forces carried in the latter half of the war. After the war, a few aeroplanes were test flown by the Czechoslovak Air Force; however, their service was limited and short-lived.

The cockpit canopy is made using vacu-formed technology (made for us by Rob Taurus). The L-39 Albatros, a high-performance second-generation jet trainer, was developed by the Aero Vodochody aircraft company in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. Becoming the most widely used jet trainer, until today about 2,800 L-39s and its variants have served with more than thirty air forces around the world. A modernisation programme of the L-39 was started in the early 1980s, resulting in the L-39MS (export designation L-59), featuring a strengthened fuselage with a longer nose, an updated cockpit with advanced avionics and a more powerful engine. The L-39MS prototype flew in September 1986. It is a two-seat, all-metal monoplane powered by a Lotarev DV-2 turbofan engine. Except its original role as a trainer it can also be used as a light attack aircraft, fitted with a GSh-23 cannon pod under the fuselage. The L-39MS/L-59 production was under way in the period 1986-96 and totalled 71 aircraft, including 5 prototypes. Six machines were delivered to the Czechoslovak Air Force, while 48 aircraft were sold to Egypt (during 1993-94) and 12 to Tunisia (1995-96).
