LOT 90 years and counting Sept 2020
LOT ( Polskie Linie Lotnicze ), was created in December of 1928, executing its first flight on January 1st 1929. Initially flying Junkers and Fokker aircraft, LOT was quick to introduce new aircraft, taking delivery of the DC-2 in 1935 and the L-10 Electra in 1936. After the disruption of the war, LOT was reestablished, with a fleet of LI-2s, and DC-3s, connecting Poland with nearby European capitals. In 1947, the airline acquired a short lived Languedoc fleet, but afterwards, new aircraft acquired were the necessarily Russian built aircraft.  LOT was able to acquire some Convairs and Viscounts on the used market during that time.
In the 1960s and 70s, LOT expanded across the Atlantic and as far as Bangkok to the east, but the government crackdown in the early 1980s severely inhibited the airline's growth.
After the fall of communism in Poland, LOT quickly resumed its growth and innovation, becoming the modern international airline that it is today.
LOT's postcard history is also impressive from the early DC-2s to the current 787s. Following  are cards illustrating most of the 90 + years of LOT.
