Aero A.304
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aero A.304 was a Czechoslovakian bomber aircraft that first flew in 1937. It had originally been developed as an airliner, the A.204, but when Aero could not find buyers for the design, it was militarised and successfully marketed to the Czech Air Force. It was also exported to Bulgaria, where it was known as the "Pelikan".
