      <abstract>
        <p>The article deals with the inter-war Lithuanian aviation in the period of 1919-1940. By using all available historical and literature resources, the author aims to analyze the inter-war aviation cooperation and perform historical analysis of aviation institutions. Having reviewed the historical development of these institutions, it can be concluded that since their establishment the main purpose has been the country’s defence in case of armed attack. Military aviation has become the core of aviation. The cooperation of the aviation institutions during the Soviet occupation is not analyzed. The authors claim that processes of development of strengthening of Lithuanian aviation istitutions are interreated to sustainable security phenomenon.</p>
