Given that all four of my mom's grandparents were born in Poland and emigrated to the US in the late 19th Century, I'm half-Polish. That being said, this aircraft DOES look like something cobbled together by the "Little Rascals."

There is an old adage about airplanes that runs, "if it looks right it will usually fly right". This was one of the worst combat aircraft of it's day, and looks it.

You've missed the LWS 3 Mewa, a very intersting recon and military transport aircraft. you can search it on youtube, there is a very good video about it.ç Sorry for my english, its rusty

This plane looks more interesting than the PZL Los.

I have a photo of one wrecked in a Germam air raid in 1939 from a book on the Polish air force 1919-1945 called "White Eagles" and it looks like something children would build out of scrap or something from the old "Little Rascals" serials!

Correct spellings of polish names are "¯ubr" ("¿" should be pronounciated just like french "j") and "£o¶" - "Elk" or "Moose" ("³" - like "w" in the word "world", and "¶" - softened "sh" like in japanese "sushi" but contracted, without "i" at the end).

'Bison', a very apt nickname for this plane. It looks almost as hideous as the French heavy bombers of the 1930s.

As has been written, Zubr was a back-up for Los. But in fact there were more of them on polish airports. Unfortunately most of them were destroyed by German bombers in first days of war. The surviving machines was unarmed an in this way useless.
