The RWD-21 is a two-seat, cantilever low-wing wooded touring aircraft that was intended to be simple, cheap and easy to fly. This is the prototype and first flew in February 1939. At the outbreak of WWII five aircraft had been completed. In September 1939 this plane and SP-BRH were flown to Romania where they survived the war. In Romania SP-BRE was re-registered and flown as YR-VEN but returned in 1948 to Poland and became SP-AKG with the Warsaw Aeroklub. It joined this super museum in 1963 and was subsequently restored to its pre-WWII colour scheme and registration.

The Flaming (Flamingo) is a Polish STOL intended as a successor to the successful utility aircraft PZL-104 Wilga. This is the first prototype and was first flown in November 1989. A second prototype was flown in July 1991 (SP-PRD), also on display at the Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego. However, problems with funding at the outbreak of the 1980s and 1990s and the political upheaval at that time, coupled with the wish to prioritise the PZL-130 Orlik trainer program caused the Flaming program to be suspended.

In 1969 she was acquired by the IWM and displayed at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden before moving to Duxford in 1971 and Krakow in 2012.

In 1948 LWD developed the Zuch 1 trainer and aerobatic aircraft from the LWD Junak. The aircraft was powered by a Czech Walter Minor 160 hp inline engine, however, the Poles were refused a licence for production of these engines. Therefore, the Zuch 2 was developed with a German Siemens Bramo radial engine instead but this produced only 116 hp. The Zuch 2 was unsurprisingly inferior to the Zuch 1 and only 5 were built, these were operated by flying clubs until 1955. This example is now on display at this super museum.

In the autumn of 1945, this P-39 was found complete (and presumably still crated) on a stray railway wagon near Radom. It was still it its USAAF markings so, presumably, a lend lease airframe that had been transported to the front, but as the war had progressed the plane had become surplus to requirements. The Airacobra was puchased by the Wawelberg & Rotwand Technical School in Warsaw and used for instructional teaching. It then passed to the Mechanical Faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology, however, in all the intervening years the fuselage, the serial and other parts have become lost.

This B.II was built in 1917 at Zeesen in Germany and went on to serve with the Imperial German Air Force and is the only surviving airframe of its type. At some point prior to 1936 it became part of Hermann Göring's pre-WWII collection that formed the Deutsche Luftfahrtsammlung (German Collections of Aircraft). After several pieces were lost during a bombing attack in 1943, the remainder were crudely cut up, packed onto wagons and tranported east for safekeeping. In 1945 the remnants were discovered in very poor condition near the village of Hammer (now Kuźnica Czarnkowska) by the Polish Army.

The Pirat was a very successful glider design used for advanced training with a total of 813 produced and exported to some 25 countries. This example is the second prototype that was first flown during August 1966. It is obviously of valuable historical importance and so was purchased for the museum in November 2020 from the Polish Airlines Aero Club.

The Pirat was a very successful glider design used for advanced training with a total of 813 produced and exported to some 25 countries. This example is the second prototype that was first flown during August 1966. It is obviously of valuable historical importance and so was purchased for the museum in November 2020 from the Polish Airlines Aero Club.

This Fishbed-J was accepted into the Polish AF in April 1974 and went on to fly with various regiments during its service career. One of these was the 10th Fighter Aviation Regiment based at Lask, which it joined in August 1993. In 2000 the plane was painted in this golden scheme to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the regiment's foundation. In January 2003 the plane was retired and stored for three years at Lask before being placed at this wonderful museum.

The Grigorovich M-15 was a successful Russian WWI reconnaisance biplane flying boat but due to a shortage of engines was only built in small numbers. This example was delivered to the air squadron of the Arensburg fortress on the Baltic Isle of Saarema. It was captured by the Germans during Operation Albion in October 1917 and sent to the German Naval Research Center at Warnemünde for evaluation. It was later part of Göring's pre-WWII private collection in Berlin that was transported to Poland for safekeeping due to the danger of Allied bombing. This M-15 is the only surviving example.

This Hawk II was built in 1933 and transported by liner SS Europa from the USA to Germany. It firstly became D-3164 and then D-IRIK in April 1934. For the next four years it was the personal plane of the famous Ernst Udet, later Generaloberst of Luftwaffe, and flown during the opening ceremony of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. After 1937 it was displayed in Herman Göring's private collection, the Deutsche Luftfahrtsammlung, in Berlin but was damaged during an air raid in November 1943. The collection was evacuated to occupied Poland and in 1963 the remnants became part of this great museum.
