The LWS-4 Żubr (Wisent), then LWS-6, also called PZL-30 Żubr in some sources , was a Polish , twin-engine, medium-sized bomber that was produced in small numbers before World War II .

The German Luftwaffe captured several LWS-6s in September 1939, including the prototype with a double tail fin, and used them for flight training until at least 1942 (including for blind flight training in Schleissheim ).
