Bartel BM 1 explained
The
Bartel BM 1 Maryla, originally
Bartel M.1 was a
fighter aircraft design for the
Polish military that did not advance beyond the design stage. It was designed in response to a Polish War Ministry competition in
1925 and was placed third, netting Bartel a
zł 1,000 prize.
Maryla was the name of Bartel's wife. The design was a single-seat parasol-wing
monoplane similar in configuration to the Nieuport-Delage sesquiplanes of the era. A distinctive feature were Y-shaped struts joining wing with an
undercarriage. It was not built.
