EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sole North American P-51B Mustang to ever serve with the Royal Swedish Air Force. Designated as J26 in the Swedish Air Force inventory, this iconic American-made fighter plane graced the skies of Europe during the post-World War II era. The P-51B Mustang, a long-range, single-seat fighter aircraft, was manufactured by North American Aviation and first flew in 1940. Its distinctive sleek design and powerful engine made it a formidable addition to the Allied forces during the war. After the conflict, surplus P-51Bs were sold to various countries for military use. In 1946, the Swedish Air Force acquired this particular Mustang and assigned it to the F 16 squadron based in Malmslätt. The J26 saw active service with the Swedish Air Force until 1952, when it was eventually retired. This photograph captures the J26 in its prime, with its distinctive roundels and markings proudly displayed. The P-51B Mustang's service with the Royal Swedish Air Force is a testament to the enduring appeal and versatility of this legendary aircraft. Its legacy continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection.
