Under political reorganization in 1956, the Polish aircraft
industry was revived with production of Soviet aircraft and some indigenous types. In foreign markets most Polish
aircraft subsequently appeared under
104 Wilga
the PZL title, such
as the PZL-101 Gawron and PZL-104 Wilga utility aircraft
of 1960 and 1962 respectively, the first being a development
of the Yak-12. The Gawron was used extensively as
an agricultural aircraft, along with the PZL-built An-2
biplane, but later purpose-built dusters and sprayers were
built. Today, PZL types are produced under three separate
organizations: PZL "Warszawa-Okecie" SA (q.v.), WSK
"PZL-Mielec" SA (q.v.), and PZL-Swidnik SA (q.v.).
