The Mráz M.1 Sokol was a light aircraft built in Czechoslovakia in the years following the end of the Second World War. Designed in secret by Zdeněk Rublič at the Beneš-Mráz factory during the German occupation the type was put into production in 1946. The Sokol was a conventional low-wing monoplane that took the pre-war Beneš-Mráz Bibi as its starting point. Two seats were provided side-by-side in an enclosed cabin and the main units of the tailwheel undercarriage were retractable.
