Monument commemorating Polish pilots located at the roundabout at the intersection of Żwirki i Wigury, Wawelska and Raszyńska streets.
The monument is a reconstruction of the monument from Unii Lubelskiej Square, destroyed in 1944. It depicts a standing figure of an pilot supporting a propeller. The sculpture was designed in 1923 by Edward Wittig (the artist was posed for by Major Leonard Zbigniew Lepszy).
The construction of the monument was financed from social contributions and income from aviation events. The monument was one of the first monuments in Europe dedicated to aviation.
In 1942, the anchors of Fighting Poland, made by Jan Gut and Jan Bytnar "Rudy", appeared on the pedestal using a specially designed fountain pen by "Rudy".
In 1944, the monument was destroyed by the Germans during the planned demolition of the city after the fall of the Warsaw Uprising. Fragments of the sculpture were found after the war on the premises of the Lilpop, Rau and Loewenstein factories in Wola. The destroyed monument was faithfully reconstructed by Alfred Jesion based on preserved Wittig materials. The bronze, 6-meter-long, 5-ton cast was made by Gliwice Technical Equipment Plants.
