History and Usage of the Mráz M-1D “Sokol”

The Mráz M-1D “Sokol” is a Czechoslovakian single-engine sport and touring aircraft, developed just after World War II by engineer Ing. Rublič at the Mráz plant (later known as Orličan). These aircraft were produced between 1946 and 1948 with the aim of rebuilding sport aviation in Central Europe. The "Sokol" planes were used by flying clubs, aeroclubs, and the military, mainly in Czechoslovakia, but they also made their way to Poland, Hungary, and other European countries, serving for pilot training, participation in air rallies, and leisure flying. They constituted an important step in the reconstruction of civil aviation after wartime destruction and became an icon of sport aviation in the 1940s and 1950s.
