Swedish Jet Fighter Marketing from the 50s
Short funky Swedish documentary about the development of the state-of-the-art Royal Swedish Air force jet fighter “Draken“. Built and developed by Swedish car maker Saab in the early 1950s, this video takes us on a brief journey on how the plane was developed and tested before its maiden flight in 1955.
Also pay attention to the thick and rather silly Swedish accents that makes this video even more kitschy. Good times indeed!
