Abstract
The author describes the beginnings of Polish medical aviation. The Medevac is very important for the effective treatment of the majority of patients. Aeroplanes, because of their speed, are the best transportation means for patients in very serious conditions. The beginnings of Polish medical aviation took place soon after the Great War. Colonel Doctor Felicjan Sławoj-Składkowski (Head of Health Service at the Department of Military Affairs) was a great follower of this idea. The first medical flight took place on August 14, 1924 in Poznań in the Third Aviation Regiment. Initially, Polish military aviation was associated with the military, now it is a popular transportation means in civil medical emergency services too.
