The history of Polish aircraft and gliders reaches far beyond Poland’s airfields and Europe’s air routes. One of its lesser-known chapters leads to Mandatory Palestine—the subject of this new book by Krzysztof Mroczkowski and Zygmunt Szeremeta.
The authors trace the stories of the RWD family of aircraft, including the RWD-13 and RWD-15, alongside the Wrona, Czajka and Komar gliders. They reveal how these Polish designs served far from their place of origin and became part of aviation history in the Middle East.
The book offers a fresh perspective on familiar aircraft and explores unexpected connections between Polish aviation and the history of Palestine. It will appeal to aviation enthusiasts, readers interested in the history of technology, and anyone curious about the careers of Polish aircraft abroad.
It reminds us that the story of an aircraft is also the story of the people who gave it new roles and a place in a changing world.
