The TS-11 Iskra is a Polish design, with origins dating back to the late 1950s. It officially entered service with the Polish Air Force in 1964 and was used for many decades—both as a trainer aircraft and as a light combat aircraft. During the Cold War, this model became the main equipment for training Polish military pilots; thanks to its reliable performance and ease of use, it also found wide application as a demonstration aircraft for the "Biało-Czerwone Iskry" aerobatic team.

The book "Polish Wings No. 36 TS-11 Iskra" features an extensive gallery of archival and contemporary photographs, numerous previously unpublished images from private collections, as well as colorful profiles by Artur Juszczak depicting authentic paint schemes and markings of all major versions of this aircraft. The monograph analyzes the history, technical details, evolution of variants, and the use of the TS-11 Iskra in combat units and aerobatic teams.
