• The Aichi M6A Seiran ("Mountain Haze") was a submarine-launched attack floatplane designed for the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was intended to be used with the I-400, a 4,082 tonne (4,500 ton) submarine aircraft carrier. Two or three of the craft would be stowed aboard in disassembled form, and launched by catapult. The twin floats could be jettisonned, and the aircraft was essentially meant to be ditched at sea upon completion of its mission.

• The Aero A.300 was a Czechoslovakian bomber aircraft that first flew in 1938 as a much refined development of the A.304 (despite what the numbering would suggest). Despite showing much promise, development and production of the aircraft was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.

• The Breguet Br.1050 "Alize" (meaning "tradewind") was a French production aircraft suitable for carrier-based anti-submarine warfare (ASW) tactics. The system was fielded in limited quantity throughout the Cold War and proved itself a capable performer, appearing on major French aircraft carriers of the time. India became the only other operator of the system, accounting for 12 such examples with the French Navy maintaining no fewer than 70 of their own on sea-based and land-based operations.

• The main role of the AMX is ground attack in visual and marginal weather conditions, with primary roles in long range strike and air interdiction, close air support, reconnaissance and armed patrol. The aircraft is also highly effective in air defence missions and the lead-in fighter role. Italian Air Force AMX fighters were deployed as part of the Nato forces in Operation Allied Force against Serbia in 1999.

• The AKRO Z is a mid wing aerobatic monoplane whose ancestry can be traced back to other homebuilt monoplanes developed in the USA. The first AKRO Z was VH-AUZ, which flew in December 1981, after much design and engineering work. The wing spars are of spruce construction while the ribs are spruce and ply and wing skin is plywood. The fuselage is welded steel tubing covered with sheet metal aluminium forward of the cockpit and fabric aft. The tail feathers are also built of steel tubing and are covered with fabric. The aircraft has great structural strength and is intended for advanced aerobatics. The fixed landing gear is of tail wheel configuration.

AERITALIA G-22  DWG

• The Aeritalia G.222 (formerly Fiat Aviazione, now Alenia) is a medium-sized STOL military transport aircraft. It was developed to meet a NATO specification, but Italy was initially the only NATO member to adopt the type. The United States purchased a small number of G.222s, designating them the C-27A Spartan.The C-27J Spartan is a more modern development with the engines and systems of the C-130J Super Hercules.

• The more powerful Aeronca C-3 was introduced in 1931, featuring room for a passenger seated next to the pilot. Powered by a new 36-horsepower (27-kilowatt) Aeronca E-113 engine, the seating configuration made flight training much easier and many Aeronca owners often took to the skies with only five hours of instruction—largely because of the C-3's predictable flying characteristics. Both the C-2 and C-3 are often described as “powered gliders” because of their gliding ability and gentle landing speeds—it was almost impossible to make a hard landing with an Aeronca because the pilot could easily see his wheels approach the runway.

• During the late 1950s the Lockheed Georgia Company, Marietta, Georgia made a rare venture into the general aviation market with a design for a four to six-seat light utility transport aircraft aimed specifically at South American operators. The one and only American-built prototype Lockheed AL.60 made its maiden flight on September 15, 1959. It was a boxy, robust, all-metal high-wing monoplane with a wide square cabin which could quickly be changed from passenger to all-cargo configuration, and tricycle landing gear which could be replaced with skis or floats for bush flying. The standard seating arrangement is for four to six passengers but these can be replaced by seats without backrests for use by parachutists. The ambulance version could carry two stretchers, one seated patient and one attendant.

• The Avro Type 707 was the first British aeroplane designed for delta-wing research. The Avro Type 707 was a single-seat mid-wing monoplane first flown in September 1949 and powered by a Rolls-Royce Derwent gas-turbine. The Avro Type 707 was destroyed in an accident and was replaced by the Avro 707B which was first flown in September 1950 and was designed for low speed research. A high-speed research prototype was later constructed, the Avro 707A which flew for the first time in July 1951. A two-seat dual-control version of the Avro 707A, the Avro 707C was first flown in July 1953.

• The Avro 679 Manchester was a British twin-engine heavy bomber developed during the Second World War by the Avro aircraft company in the United Kingdom. The Manchester was a failure due to its under-developed, under-powered, and unreliable engines, but was the forerunner to the famous Avro Lancaster, one of the most successful bombers of the war.

• The Avro Anson is a British twin-engine, multi-role aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force, Fleet Air Arm and numerous other air forces prior to, during, and after the Second World War. Named for British Admiral George Anson, it was originally designed for maritime reconnaissance, but was soon rendered obsolete in that role. However, it was rescued from obscurity by its suitability as a multi-engine air crew trainer, becoming the mainstay of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. By the end of production in 1952, the Anson spanned nine variants and a total of 8,138 were built in Britain by Avro. From 1941, a further 2,882 were built by Canadian Federal Aircraft Ltd.

• The Avocet was designed to the requirements of Specification 17/25, which, issued in June 1926, called for an all-metal stressed-skin shipboard fighter with interchangeable wheel and float undercarriages and powered by a 180hp Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engine. Two prototypes were ordered, these being identical apart from the vertical tail surfaces, but for manufacturer's trials the first prototype was completed as a landplane and the second prototype as a twin-float seaplane

• The L-3 was initially designated the O-58 at the time it was first ordered by the Air Corps. The airplane was given its service tests in the summer of 1941 during maneuvers in Louisiana and Texas where it was used for various support purposes such as a light transport and courier.

• The Super Guppy was conceived by Leo Mansdorf and John M. Conroy, it was based on the Boeing B-377 Stratocruiser but with a new massive fuselage. Super Guppy's were produced by Aero Spacelines to transport Saturn V rocket boosters for NASA's Apollo space program but have also been used by Airbus to transport large aircraft components. The Super Guppy has a cargo hold 111 feet long and 25 feet in diameter, the cargo which can weigh up to 26 tons and is loaded via an unusual hinged nose. A total of five Super Guppy's were made, four with turbine engines as SGT's, but only one remains serviceable, a SGT still used by NASA

• The Aichi D1A or Navy Type 94 Carrier Bomber (Allied code name "Susie") was a Japanese carrier-based dive bomber of the 1930s. A single-engine, two-seat biplane based on the Heinkel He 50, it was produced by Aichi for the Imperial Japanese Navy, remaining in service as trainers at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

• The Avro 504 was a World War I biplane aircraft made by the Avro aircraft company and under licence by others. Production during the War totalled 8,970 and continued for almost 20 years,making it the most-produced aircraft of any kind that served in World War I, in any military capacity, during that conflict. Over 10,000 would be built from 1913 to the time production ended in 1932.

• The Aichi D3A (愛知99式艦上爆撃機, Aichi-kyuu-kyuu-shiki-kanjou-bakugeki-ki^?), Allied code name "Val") was a World War II dive bomber produced by the Aichi company in Japan. It was the primary carrier-borne dive bomber in the Imperial Japanese Navy in the early stages of the war, and participated in almost all actions, including Pearl Harbor. The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in World War II and before the war was over it had sunk more Allied military ships than any other Japenese aircraft.
