some of our air-crafts from '39 Most of them no longer exist even in aviation's museums - only a few survived to be a witness of our pride.

The first plane in the world with main wheels on a ball joint
Some of them took part in the invasion of the USSR in Romanian colours

Not at all. It's the PZL-44
Besides the Dakota had single rudder, the plane on the picture has a twin one.

???
RWD-9 was a sport plane built in a small series for the Challenge in 1934 (which btw. was won by Poland). No military use at all.
RWD-8 (the one with the female pilot standing in front of it), was a training aircraft (incl. training of flying using instruments only).
The sea plane was the Lublin R-XIII ter, woefully outdated in '39. That was a recon plane. Other recon plane was the RWD-14 Czapla.

Sorry mate approximately 20 9s were used as recon planes in 1939 including the one pictured mainly because the new RWD did not roll down the factory line in time.

Then there appears to be a mix up, thats the info i got from the site admin along with pictures and permission to use them (i'm not into non-military pre war hardware) but thanks for straighting it up.
