PZL P.11c Polish brick plane model - COBI 5742 - 320 bricks

The PZL P.11c was a Polish fighter aircraft designed in the early 1930s by PZL (Państwowe Zakłady Lotnicze). It was a development of the earlier PZL P.7 and became one of the most advanced fighters of its time. The P.11c featured a high-mounted gull wing, which provided excellent pilot visibility and maneuverability. Powered by a Bristol Mercury V radial engine, it reached speeds of up to 390 km/h (242 mph).

Entering service in 1934, the PZL P.11c was the backbone of the Polish Air Force at the outbreak of World War II. Despite being outclassed by newer German fighters like the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the P.11c's pilots displayed remarkable bravery during the September 1939 invasion of Poland. They managed to shoot down several German aircraft, demonstrating the P.11c's robustness and the skill of its pilots. Although it quickly became obsolete, the PZL P.11c remains a symbol of Polish resistance and ingenuity.
