Nikol A-2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikol A-2 was a prototype of a Polish flying boat built in 1939 by Jerzy Nikol. It was intended as a training aircraft for the Polish Air Force and a reconnaissance plane for the Polish Navy. It was also to become the basic aeroplane to be used aboard the ORP Gryf heavy minelayer. Designed some time before 1934, it was subsequently tested in Warsaw's PZL works. Financed by the Polish Navy, the prototype was constructed in 1935 in the hangars of the Naval Air Unit in Puck. As the airbase was not suitable for aeroplane construction and lacked experienced engineers, it was not until March of 1939 that the prototype was finally completed.
