The plane was developed to replace Breguet 19 and Potez 25 aircraft in the Polish Air Force. Main designer was Stanisław Prauss of PZL works. The works started in 1931 and were based on a passenger plane project PZL.13, that remained in sketches. The plane was of modern all-metal construction, wings were built around light closed profiles instead of spars (introduced first in PZL.19). The first prototype flew on 1 April 1934, followed by the second prototype.
