Tested in LOT Polish Airlines but rejected in favour of Lockheed Super Electra.
In September 1939, when the WWII started, evacuated east to (then Polish)Lviv. There, with broken undercarriage, captured by invading Soviet troops. No further reliable data available. reply | | axxius, e-mail, 20.02.2013 19:30 how could it enter service in 1941, when there was no Poland? reply | | Mario Beauchesne, e-mail, 06.02.2010 19:16 La principale raison de sa non fabrication fut une bataille entre les civils et les militaires concernant son financement.
Ce type d'avion de transport était dans la ligné du DC-2 ou du Bloch 220. Il était inférieur par sa capacité au fameux DC-3. Mais, cet apparaeil fût le seul gros porteur construit par un pays d'Europe de l'est. reply | |
