Developed in anticipation of the post-war light aircraft boom, North American Aviation's NAvion incorporated modern manufacturing techniques, systems, and styling that surpassed many automobile manufacturers of the day.

Piper's use of Native American tribes earned them the title 'Tin Indians.' Cessna incorporated 'Sky' into their names, but what exactly is a Navion?

At 97 1/2 years old, Roger Keeney recalls how he and a team of aeronautical engineers took Charles Daubenberger's idea and made the D-16 a reality.

Jack Riley's Twin Navion was the world's first light twin, conceived as a bridge between the still trouble-some single engine Navion and Bonanza, and larger military surplus twins such as the Beech Expeditor.

Heavier and faster than all other Navions, the Camair 480 entered production in 1955, just as the full weight of America's airplane manufacturers entered the light twin marketplace.

Competition in the 4-place light plane market was fierce during the 1940s and 1950s, not just for the light single market, but for light twins too.
