The aim of this article is to present the current state of and prospects for research on aviation education in the Second Polish Republic. It contains the review of literature relating to the history of aviation in that period including the works on main aviation areas: engine aircrafts, gliding, ballooning, parachuting and aircraft model-making as well as on social organisations active in the field of aviation and on aerial training. It also reviews the literature on the aviation education in the later period of Polish Peoples Republic and nowadays. The author observes that whilst the history of aviation has been a subject of interest to a vast number of researchers and academics, there is little research when it comes to its pedagogical aspects. Those are noteworthy, though, especially with regard to the period of Second Polish Republic as the aerial training in that period was aimed at the development of various competences and attitudes through educational and didactic methods within a relation between master and apprentice. Furthermore, that was also the period of extensive aviation propaganda and popularisation initiatives directed to the society as a whole. In conclusion, the author points out the prospects of further research in this field.
