The PZL P.11 was the primary Polish fighter aircraft when Germany invaded Poland at the start of World War II. At that time there were about 160 of the aircraft of all types in service.
The aircraft was known for its good climb rate, excellent maneuverability, and all around cockpit vision. Unfortunately, by the start of the war, the it was outclassed by modern Luftwaffe aircraft.
The aircraft simply did not have the speed to keep up with them.
PZL P.11 aircraft gave as good as they got. It is estimated that the outnumbered aircraft scored 126 victories over Luftwaffe aircraft at a cost of 114 aircraft of their own.
A total of 325 PZL P.11 aircraft of all types were produced.
