POLISH FLYING WINGS

These photos were provided by Eric du Trieu de Terdonck, taken from his collection of the French aviation
periodical "Aviation-Magazine" in which he saw that some Polish flying wing or tailless gliders were built in the past.  He is looking for more information on all of these gliders to add to his archives.  If you can add anything to his collection, please contact him at: Eric_du_Trieu_de_Terdonck@vesuvius.com.  Please copy TWITT so we can add it to these pictures so others may benefit.
