Polish National Aviation Competition. Number 12 is SP-BKW. The RWD-8 was a notable trainer and light reconnaissance / liaison type, over 550 examples of which were built. LOPP, a Polish paramilitary organisation, supported RWD and funded aircraft for the aero clubs. The Polish air force had 350 RWD-8 planes on strength in 1398 and they saw frontline service the following year. Photo from: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe
