Mr Jaroslaw Janowski of Poland is the designer of a series of light aircraft of relatively unique configuration. Mr Janowski's successes are all the more impressive when one considers that Poland in the late 60's was not particularly supportive of individual aviation efforts. In fact, he was forced to design and construct his own engine to fly the J-1 prototype, using motorcycle cylinders and a handmade crankshaft and case.
Information on Janowski's designs is somewhat scarce in the western world, but several copies have been built and flown in Europe and North America.
