Historical and technical information

The Fokker F.VIIb/1m was a German/Dutch transport and passenger aircraft that gained great worldwide popularity from the mid-1920s. Licensed production for the Czechoslovak Air Force was carried out by Avia. This aircraft was mainly used as a light transport plane, for training, and for medical missions. In Czechoslovak service, the Fokker F.VIIb.1 appeared after 1928 and was operated until the start of World War II.

The military version was characterized by a sturdy construction, a three-engine configuration, and a distinctive fixed undercarriage, adapted for landing on less prepared airfields. Its capacity to carry passengers or cargo, durability, and relatively simple servicing made it a versatile machine for Czechoslovak aviation.
