The FFVS J 22 was a Swedish single-engine fighter aircraft developed for the Flygvapnet during WWII. The first prototype J 22 made its maiden flight in September 1942 from Bromma airport and a total of 198 were built. The type was capable, well-liked by its pilots and possessed good manoeuvrability and responsive controls at lower altitudes but became sluggish above 20,000 ft because it lacked a supercharger. This is one of the five survivng examples. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
