B 18 - Saab 18

Följ med upp i luften med Saabs andra egna flygplansprojekt, det tvåmotoriga bombplanet B 18. Det provflögs 1942 och från 1944 levererades sammanlagt 243 stycken till flygvapnet. Trots att B 18 var i tjänst ända till 1959 sparades inget exemplar. År 1979 kunde man dock bärga B 18 "Röd D" som i februari 1946 hade nödlandat på isen i Härnösands hamn och sedan sjunkit. Medlemmar i Flygvapenmuseums vänförening Östergötlands Flyghistoriska Sällskap har ägnat många timmar åt att restaurera flygplanet - ett arbete som fortfarande pågår.

Saab's second aircraft project was the twin-engined B 18 bomber. It test flew for the first time in 1942 and deliveries to the Swedish Air Force commenced in 1944. Despite remaining in service until 1959 not a single example of this aircraft was saved. In 1979 however, a B 18 known as "Red D" was salvaged from the sea bed just outside Härnösand, Sweden, where it had performed an emergency landing in 1946 and then sank through the ice. Members of Östergötlands Flyghistoriska Sällskap have dedicated many hours to the restoration of this aircraft.

Nope, looks more like a failed japanese attempt to copy a B-25 Mitchell.

This looks nothing like a B-25 idiot. More like a Do 17, you think americans were first to have a twin tail?
