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.
