On 1 September 1939 the Polish air force had about 86 of them, but fewer than half saw combat; the rest were with training units, in repair or held in reserve. Without fighter cover, the crews that did fly suffered heavy losses, and the last Polish missions were flown on 19 September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the surviving aircraft took a strange turn. Around 26 or 27 were flown out to Romania as Poland fell. In October 1940 the Romanian government seized them, and 23 went into service with the Royal Romanian Air Force — including missions against the Soviet Union in 1941. Of more than 120 built, not a single original survives today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the COBI range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PZL.23 Karaś (5751) is the Polish light bomber of the same campaign, and the PZL P.11c (5742) the fighter that flew alongside both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 570 · \u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48 · \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52945102340378,"sku":"5780","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/3134\/9786\/files\/cobi-5780-pzl-37-los.png?v=1790368968","url":"https:\/\/notjustcollectibles.com\/products\/cobi-pzl-37-los-set-5780","provider":"Not Just Collectibles, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
