Description
The PZL P.11 C: A Comprehensive Guide for Modelers. The Polish fighter PZL P.11 C played a pivotal role in the country's defense during the tragic month of September '39. Often overlooked as "obsolete," this variant was, in fact, the penultimate stage in the evolution of a long line of fighter planes. Its design had matured significantly from earlier models, but it also represented a closed chapter in the development of high-wing strut aircraft. The PZL P.11 C's limitations were well understood by its designers and operators. Despite being an export alternative with improvements over earlier models, it was ultimately surpassed by more advanced designs like the PZL P.24. This realization led to a shift away from high-wing strut aircraft in Poland, as design offices ceased involvement in their development. This book provides the most comprehensive coverage of the PZL P.11 C for modelers, offering valuable insights into its history and characteristics.
