The SG 38 Schulgleiter was developed in Germany in the early 1930s and was widely used during the interwar period and World War II as a basic training glider. This model enabled novice pilots to complete their first flights in many European countries. In Poland, the SG 38 was produced and operated under the name Komar SK-38. This glider was used until the 1950s in both pre-war and post-war Poland, as well as in Czechoslovakia and East Germany, mainly by aviation sports clubs and youth organizations.
