                                     Polskie Linie Lotnicze (LOT) was established in January 1, 1929, taking over existing domestic
                                     routes from  Aerolot  and Aero, the former founded in 1922 and the latter in 1925).     
  Initial
                                     service was between Warsaw and Poznan, although additional services to Bucharest and other
                                     European capitals soon followed. 
The new company immediately sought replacements for its
                                     Junkers F.13 type aircraft, and the choice was made to accept the locally designed Podiaska
                                     Wytwornia Samolotow P.W.S. 24 for this task. The Skoda-built Wright Whirlwind J5 radial
                                     engine was used.     Accomodation was for a pilot and four passengers.        The prototype
                                     (SP-AGR) and five production machines (SP-AJF thru SP-AJK) were delivered early in
                                     1933.  The above much published image is from correspondent W
