The book Stratus 27339 Samolot po polsku Maxi: Polskie Skrzydła w Turcji 1936–1948 PL is a unique publication for aviation history enthusiasts and connoisseurs of Polish engineering. Published by the renowned Stratus publishing house, in Polish, this title focuses on the little-known but extremely fascinating period of aviation cooperation between Poland and Turkey in the years 1936–1948, spanning the late interwar years, World War II, and the beginning of the post-war era.

The book provides a detailed account of the export of the modern-at-the-time Polish PZL P.24 fighter planes to Turkey, as well as the cooperation of Polish engineers and designers employed at Turkish aviation plants. The reader will find not only a compendium of knowledge about export transactions, but most importantly, valuable and reliable information on the technical and engineering aspects of the machines involved.

The publication contains precise plans of the PZL P.24 aircraft in various variants, along with descriptions of other aircraft designed and produced in Turkey with Polish involvement. Its strengths include colorful plates depicting the paint schemes and markings used by the Turkish Air Force during this period (the Interwar years, World War II, and the first post-war years). This is an excellent reference material both for modelers building models in classical 1/72 or 1/48 scales as well as aviation historians.
