EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to circa 1952. The image showcases the SAAB 210A L'il Draken, a remarkable Swedish jet fighter aircraft, as it undergoes rigorous testing on the SAAB test-flying pan. Bengt R. Olow, a skilled test pilot, stands proudly over the sleek cockpit, poised for the next phase of the flight evaluation. The SAAB 210A L'il Draken, a designation given due to its diminutive size compared to contemporary jet fighters, was a significant advancement in Swedish aviation technology. Its innovative features included a delta wing design and a powerful afterburning engine, making it a formidable addition to the Swedish Air Force. The photograph captures the essence of the early jet age, an era of groundbreaking advancements and daring aviation pioneers. The SAAB 210A L'il Draken, with its distinctive silhouette and advanced capabilities, embodies the spirit of innovation and progress that defined the post-World War II aviation landscape. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the courage and determination of the test pilots and engineers who pushed the boundaries of aviation technology, paving the way for the advanced aircraft we know today. The SAAB 210A L'il Draken stands as a testament to their achievements and a symbol of the enduring allure of aviation and aeronautical engineering.
