The Aero 45 was a twin-piston engined civil utility aircraft produced in Czechoslovakia after World War II. Aero Vodochody produced the aircraft in 1947–1951, after which the Let Kunovice rolled out these planes until 1961. In 1958 the Ae-45S became the first Czechoslovak plane to cross the Atlantic Ocean.[3] It was the first product of the nation’s postwar aviation industry and proved a great success, with many of the 590 produced being exported.
I am having trouble identifying this aircraft.
Can anyone shed light as to its make & model?
