Carrying the NATO reporting name Clod, the An-14 is a twin-engined light general-purpose aircraft that first flew in March 1958. Production began both for Aeroflot and the Soviet armed forces at the Progress Plant at Arsenyev in 1965 and by the mid-1970s well over 300 aircraft had been delivered. The military version, first seen at the Domodedovo air display in 1967, appeared not to differ from the civilian passenger version externally. An-14 were also in service with the air forces of Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic and Guinea.
