Intro and ending of the film Gula Divisionen,
a Swedish "Top Gun" from 1954.
J29 Tunnan (The Barrel) was built by Saab
1950-1956. Saab built 661 aircraft and at the
peak of production they finished one J29 per

In the fifties the Swedish Air Force was the
fourth largest in the world and Tunnan was as
good as the best US (Sabre) and Soviet
(Mig15) fighters. Tunnan held for a time the
world speed record at the distance of 500 km.
Tunnan was in UN Service in Kongo, and made a
substantial contribution to the UN victory.
