Polish Aviation Industry - Part 14
WSK PZL Okęcie. 1950-1960.
In 1951, Okęcie was incorporated into Warsaw as a district. At the same time, the construction of a housing estate for employees of the aviation industry began. The estate was called "Okęcie Lot" and was located between Żwirki i Wigury, 17 Stycznia, F. Hynka streets and allotments.
