PZL.50 Jastrząb
PZL.50 Jastrząb (Hawk) was a Polish late 1930s fighter aircraft designed by Wsiewołod Jakimiuk at Państwowe Zakłady Lotnicze. The single-seat low-wing monoplane was to serve as a multi-purpose fighter and escort to replace all other fighters in the Polish Military Aviation. Designed after 1936, its prototype first flew in February 1939. By September, the first production aircraft were nearing completion, but further development was interrupted by the Nazi-Soviet Invasion of Poland.
