SAAB 35 DRAKEN

$9.95

Titles: Saab 35 Draken No’s 1 to 4

An advanced double-delta the J35 Draken (Dragon) first flew in 1955 and entered service with the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) in 1960. Several variants were produced and it was finally retired from Flygvapnet service in 2000. Export versions were supplied to Finland, Denmark and Austria but all these have also now been retired. It was Europe’s first supersonic jet aircraft and only Swedish government restrictions prevented wider sales.

We offer four titles for this unique aircraft, covering most variants of the Draken and including manuals in English. Each title is US$9.95. All files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages..
