History
Władysław Kozłowski and his brother Jerzy designed it after articles by Władysław Korbel on home-built light aircraft. The airframe was complete by summer 1926 but the engine did not arrive until the following summer, and the first flight was on 10 or 18 September 1927.
Variants
Two were built. The Ostrovia II was a variant.
Where you'll see it
Over the winter of 1927-8 the decking was deepened, giving scooped cockpits with streamlining and crash protection.
