Mirage Hobby makes a great 1/48 scale model of the PZL-37B; decals for 2 Polish and one German versions. I am building this kit in the near future. Look it up on eBay. Or contact me.

i have a diecast model of the polish los bomber from my father, prior to the war he lived in poland. when the second ww started my fathers family was in bulgaria, i can only speculate that he had this with him & that is why the model survived the war.

The aircraft was only a little larger than an Electra Model 10 but it could carry a heavier load than the Wellington and it was faster

The orignal plans of this aircraft exist. There were some good publications in Poland with original reprints.
Also just for information, the exact translation of the name PZL 37 Los is PZL 37 Moose not Elk. I am actually putting together couple of models in 1/72 scale. When I am done I will post some pictures.

An RAF friend of mine used to kid me about the skimpy bomb load of the B-17, which was about 2 tons. That's understandable, since they were designed with so many machine guns to fight their way to the target, a strategy which later proved to be flawed (re: Schweinfurt ). Of course the Elk did not have the range of the B-17, but almost a 3 times bigger bomb load, which was also much bigger than the HE-111. Incidentally, does anyone out there know of any source for a Polish newsreel documentary of their war with Germany? Would appreciate any help. DON

Hi! does anybody know if there are original construction plans of this plane? Does anybody know if someone is trying to "resurrect" this plane? Write me

I also met one of the original pilots. He lives in Poland. I met him just by chance (sitting next to me at a restaurant) while I was on vacation there last summer. Really great guy! He told me that there are only a couple of the original pilots still alive. 4 (including him) to be exact and all live in America except him. He actually survived several missions before being shot down. Spent the rest of the war in a one of the prison camps. He must be fairly well known, because he had tons of newspapers over the years with his pictures and stories about him.

I am interesting about airplane PZL P-37 £OŒ...is somebody known about this plane? Thanks
Michael J Fowler, e-mail, 11.07.2007 I knew one of the pilots who flew one of these planes to Bucharest. He subsequently went to France and flew Morane 406s against the Germans.

Those bombers were great, but without covering fighters and good recon many of them were lost. Unfortunately polish pilots managed to destroy some German convoys including tanks and support. To compartment £oœ was better than He-111, which was a middle tactical bomber too. It’s needed to say hat Romanians take retreating bombers as a delivery and recovered them. Romanian forces were fighting as Axis country, and none of PZL-37 survived to present times.
