The RWD-13 was a pre-war Polish tourist aircraft.
It was a hybrid design. The prototype flew in 1935. It was powered by a 130 hp PZInż Walter Major engine.
Between 1936 and 1939, 85 aircraft were built, several of them under license in Yugoslavia.
The aircraft performed well in its class and participated in many foreign competitions.
In addition to Poland, it was exported to Spain, Brazil, and the Middle East.
After the fall of Poland in September 1939, most of the aircraft flew to Romania, two to Estonia, and two to Sweden. After the war, some were returned.
In Romania, they were used for medical transport during the war, and some as courier aircraft.
Several aircraft continued to fly after World War II.
Two aircraft have survived and are located in museums in Kraków and Brazil.
They were produced in two versions: RWD-13S ambulance with stretcher and RWD-13ST tourist and ambulance.
Four RWD-13s were sold to Spain by SEPEWE ("Export of Arms Industry SEPEWE, Co. Ltd.") and used as liaison aircraft by Franco's National Aviation during the Spanish Civil War under the name Polaca.
After the Civil War, the remaining aircraft were used by flying clubs.
