Product Description
Product Description
First published in 1989, this revised edition presents the up-to-date story of the Saab aircraft since 1937. Though the Swedish aircraft industry can be traced back to the years before World War I, it was the establishment of Saab in 1937 which laid the foundations for a Swedish industry capable of producing world-standard aeroplanes which in some cases were in advance of those designed elsewhere. The Saab 17 single-engined and the Saab 18 twin-engined bombers were the company's first products. But it was the appearance of the Draken and Viggen which established Saab's reputation for producing world-class aeroplanes. Today, the Saab 340 airliner is widely used, having secured the international markets which eluded the Scandia.

Knowing nothing about the subject I bought this book to find out a little more about how such a small nation could produce such aircraft. When making such a speculative buy [...] can be off-putting, but I found the book excellent and informative. I read it over a weekend and it had me glued. The photographs are good, but it is a shame that none were in colour.
