Aviolanda
Aviolanda was a Dutch aircraft manufacturer. The company was established in December 1926 by H. Adolph Burgerhout. Aviolanda mainly produced licensed built aircraft, such as the Curtiss P-6 Hawk and the Dornier Wal and Dornier Do-24 flying boats and the Gloster Meteor, Hawker Hunter[1] and the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter jets. Aviolanda was the parent company of Dutch helicopter manufacturer NHI. It was eventually taken over by Fokker Aircraft in 1967 and was renamed Avio-Fokker.
