PWS-10

Facing us, in the dark background, what is probably a PWS-10 (note the oil cooler reflecting the light). This first indigeneous polish fighter entered service from 1932 in the Polish Air Force. But their mediocre flight characteristics and performance led the purchase of Avia BH-33 in 1933. PWS-10 was then relegated to training duties.

Later, as Jan is on his drawing table, a model is seen on the writing desk.

The yellow line highlighted the I-shaped interplane strut of a Spad 51 or Spad 61, both used by the Siły Powietrzne (the Polish Air Force) before PWS-10 reached front line units.
