Bulgaria purchased 14 PZL P.24B fighters in 1937. A repeat order for 20 PZL P.24C, to be delivered by the end of 1938 was later added. Later it ordered 26 PZL P.24Fs, 22 of which were delivered from Poland in July 1939, just before the outbreak of WW II. The remaining four, lacking propellers, were bombed in the Okęcie factory in September 1939 by the Germans https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/pzl-p-24-in-bulgarian-service/ #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #BulgarianAirForce #fighter #PZLP24 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

Curtiss Model D Pusher, 1912 (replica). Glenn Curtiss was engaged, sometimes in a legal sense, in a fight with the Wright Brothers for dominance in the world of early aviation - Curtiss machines had ailerons, rather than the Wright-designed wing warping, for roll control. Although the Model D suffered, as did most of the early pusher designs, from higher drag due to the wide-spaced rear fuselage frame members, it was still a useful machine, performing both the first take-off from a vessel (Nov. 1910) and the first landing (Jan. 1911). This replica is of a 'headless pusher', so called by Curtiss because the earlier forward mounted canard control surfaces were omitted in this model #earlyaviation #biplane #GlennCurtiss #Curtiss #aeroplane #pusher #aircraft #navalaviation #USA #WrightBrothers #avgeek #aviationlovers #CurtissModelD #museum #replica
