On the other hand, PZL.50 might have been an ugly duckling but it showed plenty promise and would not be far behind the best of the contemporary fighters in the world.
The development of PZL.38 was abandoned, PZL.50 was actually ordered into production.
On PZL.48 and 62 we can only speculate because neither was ever flown.
Yeah your right cuteness and looks dont win the wars, but win the hearts of the pilots that fly them.
And that, is important too
But in a different sense
