1. Аеро А.12 е чехословашки биплан лек бомбардировач и военен разузнавателен самолет, произведен в малък брой малко след Първата световна война. Въпреки че напомня на самолета, проектиран от Ханза-Бранденбург, който Aero изгражда по време на войната по лиценз като Ae.10, A.12 е собствен дизайн на компанията. Той е може би най-значим като пряк потомък на изключително успешния А.11 и неговите различни производни. Пример за типа е запазен в Letecké Muzeum в Kbely.

General Characteristics
The Aero A.12 was a two-seat biplane designed and produced in Czechoslovakia in the early 1920s. It was one of the first successful military aircraft developed by the newly established Aero company for the Czechoslovakian Air Force. Primarily used for light bombing and reconnaissance, the A.12 proved reliable and served as the design basis for the highly successful A.11 series.
