Several of the photos here wouldn't've been possible except for the kind assistance of the very helpful and knowledgable staff at the museum. I extend my gratitude to them all!
For more information when the aircraft types were in service, how many and which versions we had, you can read this list of all Swedish military aircraft types.

An account of the Swedish aviation volunteer unit in Finland, F 19, is found here.

The history of the Swedish Tunnan unit in Congo, F 22, is found here.

For more detailed descriptions and more photos of some types, see this document. Sometimes you can even find photos of the same indivudal aircraft shown here.

The museum has a home page of its own: Flygvapenmuseum's home page.

Should you wish to read more about aircraft in Swedish museums, Flygplan på museum - och hur de kom dit by Sölve Fasth, published by Allt om Hobby is the most comprehensible book.

The photos here are all by me, 1988 and later
