The Society of Friends of the Air Fleet (ODVF) was the first mass public organization in the USSR to promote the development of the Air Fleet and was formed on March 8, 1923. The ATSF conducted gatherings of gliders, built military and civil aircraft, airfields and take-off sites. A lot of work was done to promote the achievements of aviation. In May 1925, the ODVF and the Society of Friends of Chemical Defense and Chemical Industry merged into one Society; AVIAHIM of the USSR.
