Roe and The Avro AvianBefore we go on we would like to tell you about the remarkable A.V. Roe, his company, and the Avro Avian - an airplane with an incredible history of pioneering flights in the early days of aviation.Alliott Vernon Roe was very much an aviation pioneer. Born in Patricroft, Manchester, England in 1877, he patented the first aircraft control column in 1906. In 1908, he designed and flew his own airplane. Then, on New Years Day 1910, A.V. Roe became the first company to be registered as an airplane manufacturer. During WWI they produced a very good aircraft for the British army called the Avro 504.
