As can be seen here, the engine of Rd Kalle is still in running condition, albeit for enjoyment only,as the aircraft doesn't fly.

Human figures lend the scale. This photo clearly shows how small the J 22 really was.Photo: Andreas Samuelsson

When the J 22 was first introduced, Swedish wartime press christened the aircraft World's Fastest -in relation to the engine power. At unit level, things looked slightly different and the slogan was

quickly paraphrased to "World's Fastest - in relation to the track width!". Whatever the case, theFFVS design team managed to produce a remarkably clean and simplistic airframe.

Front view shows a degree of wing dihedral, and - again - the clean configuration of this nimbleaircraft.

J 22 was produced in two versions differing only with armament . The first 143 production aircraftwere J 22A and the rest J 22B. The "A" model was armed with two 13.2 mm and two 8 mm guns inthe wings, and J 22B with four 13.2 mm guns. The larger guns protruded through the wing leading

edge and were faired with stramlined "stubs". As can be seen, the museum's sample on the abovepicture is a J 22B, while Rd Kalle is of J 22A type.
