History
At the onset of World War II, the Swedish Air Force comprised 180 aircraft of various models, primarily sourced from nations such as Britain, the US, Germany, and Italy. The first locally designed aircraft emerged in 1942, yet to maintain neutrality, Sweden continued to bolster its fleet with foreign-made planes. This trend persisted into the jet era, although Sweden was actively developing its own jet fighters. The most notable of these was the SAAB J35 Draken, a supersonic interceptor that was truly exceptional.
Since that time, Sweden has consistently produced remarkable new aircraft, frequently operating them from dispersed locations using public roads as makeshift runways, where SAAB cars and fighters shared the same paths. This commemorative set enables you to admire the ingenuity of these aircraft from your workbench, celebrating a century of Swedish aviation innovation and excellence.
