Parked on sunlit tarmac amid a backdrop of pine trees and Cold War-era hardware, this original colour photograph captures the sleek and purposeful profile of the Saab A 32A Lansen, aircraft number 13 / 36, in full Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) livery. Designed as a versatile strike aircraft in the 1950s, the Lansen became a symbol of Sweden’s independent defence innovation during a tense geopolitical era.

This approx. 5 7/8 x 4 inch original photograph, printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, is not a reprint, but an authentic vintage image. The rich detail of the aircraft’s camouflaged paint, national roundel, tail code “36,” and forward fuselage badge is sharply preserved. The photo has minor archival handling signs (previous numbering) but is in decent, displayable condition, verified by internal QC. The presence of information boards in Swedish and an early missile test round in front of the aircraft further highlight its airshow or demonstration context.

Perfect for collectors of Nordic military aviation, Cold War tactical aircraft, or Saab’s legendary designs, this photograph is a vivid window into a nation’s drive for high-performance sovereignty in air defence. The Lansen stands as a proud representative of Sweden’s unique Cold War path–neutral, but never unprepared.
