Fiat Aviazione was an Italian aerospace manufacturer founded in 1916 as a division of Fiat. The company specialized in designing and producing military and civilian aircraft, contributing significantly to aviation technology during its operational years. In the post-World War II era, Fiat Aviazione focused on developing advanced aircraft, including fighter jets and transport planes. The company eventually merged with other firms, leading to the formation of Aeritalia in 1969, which continued the legacy of Italian aviation innovation.
