As part of a series of exhibitions dedicated to outstanding Polish aviation designers, the Polish Aviation Museum invited visitors to the opening of the exhibition Stanisław Prauss and His Designs.
Stanisław Prauss (born 28 November 1903 in Warsaw, died 12 November 1997 in London) was an aviation designer — the creator of some of the most renowned Polish aircraft of the 1930s. He worked at the National Aviation Works (PZL) in Warsaw, and from World War II onwards at the British aviation companies Westland and de Havilland.
The exhibition presented memorabilia donated to the Museum’s collections by Mr. Włodzimierz Pietkiewicz — a member of Prauss’s family — including personal documents, a Jaeger aviation clock of Swiss manufacture from the PZL-4 aircraft, and an identification badge from the National Aviation Works in Warsaw. The exhibition was complemented by a model of the PZL.23 Karaś aircraft.
As part of the opening, a Talk by the Aircraft was also held, led by Jan Hoffmann, about the PZL.23 Karaś aircraft. The talk began at 12:00 PM in the Main Hangar at the Stanisław Prauss exhibition.
