Rare Birds 02: RWD-14 “Czapla”

.

.

by Andrej Glass.

Softcover (8.3×11.8 inches). 24 pages. 2015.

This short booklet covers a pre-war and WWII Polish observation plane. A short history outlines its design, development, and attributes. Only 79 were built before Poland fell, with 17 flown to Romania and subsequently used in WWII.

The booklet contains 30 black and white photos (mostly crashed or partially destroyed), nine black and white illustrations, 18 black and white 1/48 scale drawings, four black and white 1/72 scale drawings, two color cockpit instrument panel illustrations, and four color camouflage profiles.

It’s always good to learn something new about WWII and to me this was a rare bird indeed.

Enjoyed it.
