Polish Aircraft 1893-1939

{detailed description}In the interwar years Poland became a leading exponent of all-metal structures, cannon- armed monoplane fighters, V-tailed aero- planes, high-lift S TOL aircraft and ultra-light machines. Several Polish aeroplane and glider designs were counted among the most advanced and finest in the world and provided inspiration for constructors in other countries. This book sets out to bring these facts to wider notice and preserve a competent record of Polish aviation achievements. It contains the history, detailed structural description and technical data of every type evolved by Polish designers prior to World War 11. The book is divided into four large sections: Early Pioneers 1893-1918); Main Aircraft Establishments 1918-1939); Individual and Amateur Aeroplane Designs (1918-1939); and Gliders and Sail- planes (1918-1939). Providing the first complete coverage of the subject in any language, it is illustrated with a great number of photographs which have never appeared in print before and accurate multi-view drawings by W. Klepacki. It is the result of 25 years of meticulous research and exclusive interviews with former Polish aircraft designers and industrial figures and is written by the recognized authority in this field of aviation history.
