Republic Aviation was an American aircraft manufacturer based at Farmingdale on Long Island, New York. It began as the Seversky Aircraft Company, founded in 1931 by the Russian expatriate pilot Alexander de Seversky, and was reorganized as the Republic Aviation Corporation in September 1939 after Seversky was forced out. Its designers, led by Alexander Kartveli, produced a line of fighters that carried the Thunder name: the P-47 Thunderbolt of the Second World War, the F-84 Thunderjet and Thunderstreak, and the F-105 Thunderchief, which was its last independent design. Between those fighters the company built the RC-3 Seabee amphibian for the private market and proposed the XF-12 Rainbow reconnaissance aircraft as a transport. Fairchild acquired the firm in July 1965, and in September it became the Republic Aviation Division of Fairchild Hiller.
