The plane was accepted for a limited in the LWS factory in Lublin with a name Żubr (in Polish - the wisent).
In serial production, the machine received a new frontal section, a new vertical rudder, new stronger engines, a throwing device for water bombs, armour for the crew and glass cockpits for the gun stations.

A-4 SkyHawkasaurus gets my vote as the u-gliest plane.
Next year they are supposed to start adding another set of hangars for the presidential fleet and class rooms.
The first two pictures are Fairey Gannets, the third is, if I remember correctly, a Caproni 'tween-wars design, and the last one is the Caproni "flying houseboat" from just after WW I - it never took off to the best of my knowledge.

Defnders, under command of lt. general Nagevitchius, were forced to retreat after five days of intensive fighting.
Five Polish divisions experienced huge difficulties in defeating the outnumbered enemy, but ultimately on 9th of June, at 4 o'clock AM, all Lithuanian units in Klaipeda surrendered.
