Volume 1: 1945-1970

Gliders are the basis of aviation as we know it today, as they were the first devices with which people rose into the third dimension.

Today they are only used as sports equipment, but they have reached a level of perfection that inspires everyone interested in aviation.

Poland has always been one of the nations that have driven the development of gliders. Especially since the Second World War, Polish designers have created some of the most fascinating and successful gliders.

Kazimierz Wojciech Chudzinski is a connoisseur of Polish aviation, and his special love belongs to gliders. In this first volume he has listed all the gliders built in Poland from 1945 to 1970.

In this first volume he has listed all the gliders built in Poland between 1945 and 1970, described their history and collected impressive photographs, many of which have never been published before. The

special feature, however, are the many detailed drawings of the individual gliders, which are also a valuable aid for the construction of model replicas.

In addition to successful and legendary designs such as Mucha, Zefir and Foka, lesser known but no less interesting designs and project studies are also presented. Flying wing gliders and duck constructions are included as well as double hull machines and other unusual ideas.

This book is an absolute must for anyone interested in gliding.
