As the host nation, Poland fielded a sizeable contingent of five PZL.26s and six RWD-9s in the 1934 Challenge International de Tourisme. The PZL.26's Menasco engine was found to be unreliable, however, and only SP-PZL (c/n 5) completed the Challenge, in eleventh place. The RWD-9s did much better, including SP-DRC, on the left. No more PZL.26s were built and four of the five registrations were stricken from the register in 1936, but this machine, SP-PZO, was used until 1939. Note that although PZL was in Okęcie, it was not 'PZL-Okęcie' before WWII. Photo from: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe
