  warbirdregistry.org - A Warbirds Resource Group Site - Polish Aircraft Specifications
One 7.7mm (.303 in.) Browning or KM Wz 33 mounted on PZL hydraulically assisted mount in rear cockpit
The plane was developed to replace Breguet 19 and Potez 25 aircraft in the Polish Air Force.
Sometimes the aircraft is called the "PZL P.23", but despite an abbreviation P.23 painted on a tail fin, the letter "P" was generally reserved for fighters of Pulawski's design (like PZL P.11).

  Greek PZL P.24 fighters
For the PZL company the modernization program was belated acknowledgment of the fact that the successor of the P.11, the P.24, upon who's design the P.11g modifications were based had been dismissed just a little too soon by the Polish military.
The PZL P.24 did however prove it self able to deal with Italian Macchi MC.200 and Fiat CR.42 and CR.50 fighters of the Regia Aeronautica and this it proved quite conclusively in the hands of Greek pilots during the Italian invasion of that country.
The Greeks responded to attrition by consolidating the PZL fighters in 22 and 23 Mira while 21 Mira was re-equipped with the newly arrived Gloster Gladiators.

 PZL P.23 - Polish Aviation History Page
PZL P.23 Karas was the most numerous type of aircraft in service with the Polish Air Force in September 1939.
PZL P.23 Karas (crucian carp) was developed in the early 1930s in response to the Polish Air Force's need to replace its ageing biplane Potez 25 and Potez 27 light bomber/reconnaissance aircraft.
The PZL 43 equipped units of the Bulgarian air force never saw front line combat, and were used locally against communist guerillas throughout 1943 and 1944.

 PZL P.24B Review by Steven "Modeldad" Eisenman (Mirage Hobby 1/48)
This might be the easiest review I have ever written, as all the real work has been done by Mike Dobrzelecki in his excellent and comprehensive review of the previously issued F and G models of this aircraft.
As for the color of the Bulgarian PZL P.24B, they were all simply painted in dark olive-green top side with light blue underside.
I have built the Mirage PZL P.11C, and while clearly not shake and bake, it was an enjoyable build.

 PZL P.37 by Lukasz Kedzierski (Mirage 1/48)
PZL P.37 (Panstwowe Zaklady Lotnicze - National Aviation Establishment) was the most modern aircraft in the inventory of the Polish Air Force in September 1939 and a symbol of Polish technological ingenuity.
The PZL P.37 was developed in response to the specifications issued by the Departament Aeronautyki (Department of Aeronautics) in 1934 for a new twin engine bomber capable of carrying a bombload of 2000 kg (including 300 kg bombs) with speed in excess of 350 km/h and a range of 1200 km.
PZL planned production of export variants P.37C with GR 14NO1 engines and P.37D with GR 14N21 engines, which were offered to several European countries.

 PZL Fighters in 1/48 Scale by Artur Golebiewskie (Various 1/48)
On the home front it was becoming apparent that the PZL P50, a modern, low wing monoplane (somewhat similar in looks to the Seversky P35) was coming far short of expectations in speed and it was decided to use the Mercury VIII engines, already produced and “match” it to the existing PZL P11c airframes.
Lastly we see the PZL P24, the export versions of the Pulawski fighter, one in the “F” configuration with two cannon and two machine guns and one in the “G” standard with four machine guns.
The other kit is a standard P24 as it was delivered by PZL to the Greeks and later converted to the four machine guns.

 PZL 46 Sum.
PZL P-46/I (first prototype) was shown during the International Paris Air Show in 1938.
The second prototype PZL P-46/II was built in March 1939 and had a retractable gondola.
During evacuation of PZL WP-1 on 5 September 1939, engineer S. Reiss flew PZL P-46/II to Lvov and then to Bucharest, where the Polish government was evacuated.

 PZL P.11c Review by Ron Dobrzelecki (Mirage Hobby 1/48)
One of the artifacts lent to the Intrepid was an original section of corrugated skin from a PZL.
There are no known original set of original blueprint drawings for this PZL fighter and the sole remaining P.11c is not complete in its original equipment.
I already hear that they are applying the same professionalism in planning and designing their PZL P.23 Karas, which originally was to be released prior to the P.11c kit.

 PZL P.11c - Polish Aviation History Page
The PZL P.11 was one of the line of fighters designed by Zygmunt Pulawski, which, in the early thirties, for a short time brought Poland to the forefront of fighter development.
The PZL P.11c was designed in an attempt to improve visibility from the cockpit, which was achieved by lowering the engine installation and moving the pilot's seat upwards and back.
Next fighter in the series, the PZL P.24, whose second prototype broke the world speed record for fighter planes with radial engines on 28 June 1934, attaining 414 km/h (257 mph), was armed with two 20mm Oerlikon cannon and two 7.9mm machine guns.

 PZL 11 walkaround
PZL P.11 was the major production model in the interwar period and it was the basic type of fighter plane in the Polish air force.
PZL (National Plane Plant) received an order for P.11 in 1930 from the Department of Aeronautics of the Ministry of Defence.
One of the P.11 series was equipped with the Merkury VII engine (intended for PZL 50) and it had a cockpit canopy, a changed propeller and an engine cowling as well.

 Project - RAF Waddington Air Show on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The PZL M-28/M-28B/An-28 is a twin-engined high-wing cantilever monoplane of all-metal structure, with twin vertical tails and a robust tricycle non-retractable landing gear, featuring a steerable nose wheel to provide for operation from short, unprepared runways where hot or high altitude conditions may exist.
An engine failure that would usually induce the wing to drop 30° is combated by an automatic spoiler forward of the aileron that opens on the opposite wing, restricting wing drop to 12° in five seconds.
PZL Mielec has been the sole source for production An-28s, and has developed a westernised version powered by 820kW (1100shp) Pratt and Whitney PT6A65B turboprops with five blade Hartzell propellers, plus some western (BendixKing) avionics.

 Charles Bain PZL P11c
It was an aircraft worthy of accolades, and all this from a new company, and a country that had only been in existence for twenty years.
The PZL bureau had the luck to have a young designer named Zygmund Pulaski when it was formed in 1928.
It may have seemed obsolete, and perhaps it was, but the PZL P.11c was an excellent craft, and had Poland not fallen, it could have done great damage to the Luftwaffe.

 PZL.23 Karas reviews
This is a must-have volume for anyone with even a passing interest in either the PZL P.23 or in the 1939 invasion of Poland.
It is very similar in organization to their volume on the PZL P.11c.
This particular edition on the PZL P.23 Karas is no exception and the first in their 'Orange' series that combines the aspects of the Red (history) and Yellow (aircraft monograph) series into one book.

 PZL P.37 Los
PZL P.37 was developed in response to the specifications issued by the DepartamentAeronautyki (Department of Aeronautics) in 1934 for a new twin engine bomber capable of carrying a bombload of 2000 kg (including 300 kg bombs) with speed in excess of 350 km/h and a range of 1200 km.
Los was very well received by the international aviation experts and was considered to be one of the best bombers at the time due to its high speed and great bombload.
I can highly recommend two of them: Samolot bombowy PZL P-37 Los (Bomber aircraft PZL P-37 Los) by Jerzy Cynk (an authority when it comes to Polish aviation) published in 1990 and Samoloty bombowe wrzesnia 1939 (Bombers of September 1939) by Andrzej Glass et al.

One is intended as an attrition replacement, and the other will be specially equipped for the Combat SAR group set up for the NATO Rapid Reaction Forces.
Also in the budget is a requirement for four PZL W-3WA Sokol armed helicopters (so far WSK PZL Swidnik has delivered 21 W-3W and 11 W-3WA armed Sokols); one PZL 1-22 Iryda, three PZL-130TC Orliks, plus three PZL An-28RM naval patrol aircraft equipped with the new PIT ARS-400 surveillance radar.
The unit retired all its PZL TS11 Iskra jet trainers last spring (all were sent to Deblin and Biala Podlaska), so the Orlik is now the primary equipment of the 60th Regiment.
