Historical Description

The PZL P.11a was the first in a series of modern, all-metal, single-seat fighters designed in Poland in the early 1930s. Introduced into service in 1934, it formed the backbone of the Polish Air Force's fighter arm until September 1939. It was used mainly by the Polish Air Force and was groundbreaking thanks to the so-called “Pulawski wing.” The PZL P.11a took part in the fighting during the September Campaign of 1939, proving to be a maneuverable and durable aircraft, even in the face of the Luftwaffe's growing technical superiority.
