Avia 14/IL-14 in Czechoslovak Airlines (CSA) Service

During the 1970’s, I had a Czechoslovakian aviation pen pal named Zdenek that sent me a number of Czech civil and military photos.

Here are some of the license built, improved Russian Il-14 called the Avia-14 from the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. While Zdenek’s photos are all B&W, I found the above nice color photo on the Planes.cz website. The last photo in this series is of an Avia-14 in Bulgarian Air Transport colors.
