Photo Comment

A Centrala Verstäderna (CV)-license built Fokker C.V can be found on display with the excellent Flygvapenmuseum. A total of 14 were purchased from Fokker, The Netherlands, and 35 were built by CV in Malmen. After it proved unsuccesful as a figher (designated J3) the type was relegated to reconnaissance duties as the S6. The reconnaissance equipment consisted of one hand-held camera. This aircraft served from 1934 till 1945. The aircraft was renovated and flew in 1962 to celebrate 50 years powered flight in Sweden and last flew in 1963 on a round trip to the Netherlands for the RNLAF jubilee!
