WW2 Swedish Aircraft: FFVS J22 & Saab 18

FFVS J22:

The FFVS J 22 was a single-engine fighter aircraft developed for the Swedish Air Force during World War II. The J 22 was well-liked by its pilots and possessed good maneuverability, although forward visibility on the ground left something to be desired. With 575 km/h (360 mph) from a 795 kW (1,065 hp) engine, the press called the diminutive fighter "World's Fastest in relation to the engine power" (while not absolutely true, it was in the same class as the early marks of Supermarine Spitfire and A6M Zero). The J 22 crews promptly modified this slogan to "World's Fastest in relation to the track width" because of the very narrow landing gear. The aircraft was retired in 1952.

Saab 18:

The SAAB 18 was a twin-engine bomber designed for the Swedish Air Force. Although designed in the 1930s, changes in requirements delayed the first flight until June 19, 1942. The aircraft entered service in 1944 and remained one of Sweden's frontline ground attack and reconnaissance platforms until it was replaced by the jet-powered Tunnan and Lansen in 1958-1959. Around 240 SAAB 18s were built.

Forgot to mention - the spinner on the J22 spins with the prop for added effect, it's fun to watch the spiral.

Weeell now, the Saab JAS Gripen has done semi-well, just throw in a couple of bribes and it's a sell!

but all those bribes did only sell 34 planes and 28 leases from the Swedish Air force that has 204 i think mostly A/B that is obsolete and C/D to :lol:

but they have to have two planes to shot one plane down with there high end data link one aiming the other one fireing so maybe draken is better :rolleyes:

and the Swedes don´t seem to see that bribes are involved in all weapon sells and now Gripen international don´t get a quite moment from the media :crazyeye:

and they still need to sell lots of them to get there money back so they would have saved lots of money if they would have taken the F-5 (20) or F-18 F-16 :lol:
