Letov Kbely

Letov is an aircraft company located in Letňany, Prague, Czech Republic.

[1] Letov was founded in 1918 by the Czechoslovak Ministry of Defense to repair World War I trophy planes.

During World War II the factory served as repair shop for the German Luftwaffe.

The company has also built wings and empennages for 2500 L-39 Albatros trainer aircraft since the 1970s.

Following the fall of socialism in Czechoslovakia in 1989, Letov failed to assert itself on the international market and in 2000 it was bought by French Groupe Latécoère.
