RWD aircraft - Poland: books - history and models

Najsłynniejsze polskie sportowe samoloty wyczynowe - RWD-5 bis, RWD-6, RWD-9, PZL-26

The book presents four of Poland's most famous sport and competition aircraft:
- RWD-5 bis, flown solo across the Atlantic by Stanisław Skarżyński in May 1933,
- RWD-6, winner of the 1932 international Challenge with Żwirko and Wigura,
- RWD-9, taking the first two places in the 1934 Challenge,
- PZL-26, participant in the 1934 Challenge and still the fastest serially produced touring aircraft in Poland.

The author reconstructed the appearance, design, and equipment of these aircraft using archival photographs, fragmentary press reports, and imprecise promotional and catalog materials.

The book includes detailed technical drawings, historical photographs, thorough descriptions, and press excerpts, providing a complete view of Poland's interwar sport aviation achievements.
