Polish Air Force University - "The School of the Eaglets" has changed its name, structure, and fields of study several times.

Roman Florer was appointed to organize and manage the newly formed Air Force Officer School.

At every moment, they should prove that it had been the passion for the aviation that made them join the Air Force".In 1926, pursuant to the decision of the Head of the Aeronautics Department at the Ministry of Military Affairs, the pilot training was discontinued and the school limited its program only to the courses for observers.

Such a decision significantly limited the training potential of the Air Force Officer School which, as a consequence, became less attractive for young people.

In the new seat, even though not yet fully adjusted to the program requirements, all the facilities needed for aviation training were located in one area.

It was the first time in Dęblin when the representative of the President of the Republic of Poland awarded the top student of the school – 2nd Lt. Obs.

Therefore, further changes were required to be introduced in the military aviation education system Air Force Officer Training Center The Air Force Officer Training Center was established pursuant to the ordinance of the Head of the Aeronautics Department at the Ministry of Military Affairs of 6 April 1929.

The fact that it functioned within the structures of the Center helped to avoid problems related to logistic support or the organization of theoretical and practical training.

The School continued instruction only for observer cadets who having completed a one - or two-year service in an aviation regiment, could apply for admission into a flight training course.

The adopted planning assumptions, concerning the enlargement and rearmament of the military aviation intending the purchase of new planes, required approximately 1000 officers of the flying personnel to be trained.

The newly constructed airfield with the modern backup facilities in Sadków near the town of Radom became the seat of this new unit.

The second-year cadets, having completed the shortened program of study, passed their exams and in July started the accelerated specialized training.

The school ceased to function with the outbreak of World War II and the cadets had to take the most difficult exam in their lives.

On 3 September 1939 a decision was made to evacuate the teaching staff, cadets and aviation equipment from Dęblin.

The invasion of the Red Army on 17 September 1939 put an end to all hopes and the teachers and cadets were evacuated to Romania.

The group equipped with only 27 PZL P-7a aircraft was not able to fight against the aggressor on equal footing, however, it stopped the tight German bomber planes’ formations from reaching the target, by distracting them and forcing to cease the attacks.

Even though a full reconstruction of the Polish Air Force was not possible, almost 170 pilots defended the French sky in May and June 1940 (they shot down over 50 German planes).

Successes of such pilots as Skalski, Urbanowicz, Horbaczewski, Gładych, Drobiński, Król, Rutkowski, Arciuszkiewicz and Łokuciewski confirmed the value of the Polish school of aviation.

On 31 October 1944, the Wartime Aviation School of the Polish Army and the 15th Independent Reserve Air Force Regiment were established in Zamość.

On 20 March 1945 the 3rd, Squadron was rebased at the Dęblin airfield where the practical air training was commenced with the use of UT-2 aircraft.

On 13 April 1945, pursuant to the order of the Supreme Commander of the Polish Armed Forces, the Wartime Pilot School was established in Dęblin.

Training in Dęblin was conducted in extremely hard conditions, being the effect of the extensive war damage.

Additional difficulties resulted from the fact that the Russian school staff did not speak the Polish language.

Teaching personnel was gradually reduced, Russian commanders and instructor staff were systematically replaced by the Polish professionals, didactic process got upgraded and the length of the training courses – prolonged to three years.

The University is legally entitled to confer the title of Doctor of Philosophy in the scientific field of study - "machine construction".

Additionally, it is applying for conferring the title of Doctor of Philosophy in the scientific field of study - "geodesy and cartography".

The faculty has the right to confer the degree of doctor of technical sciences in the construction and operation of machines.

Furthermore, it conducts postgraduate studies related to this specialisation, mainly for officers, along with the training of professional staff for the needs of the national armed forces.

In 2011 the Department of National Safety and Logistics was created, giving the full range of aviation faculties to choose.

Many other aircraft visit Dęblin Air Force Base on daily basis including Mig-29, F-16, PZL W-3 Sokół, C-295.
