The year 1926 marks the beginning of the sport of model building in Poland, because it was when All-Poland Aeromodelling Competition was held in Pole Mokotowskie in Warsaw. Aeromodelling combines different disciplines of sport and social aspects of general, technical, aviation and physical education. Polish model-makers are among the world leaders in their field. They achieved the greatest successes in 1958-2004.
