Internationally renowned aviation artist and historian Richard J. Caruana provides a tribute to an often under-appreciated aviation legend, the Saab 37 Viggen, an aircraft that was ahead of its time on many fronts.Richard's book provides a brief history of the aircraft combined with an exceptional collection of over 56 color profiles showing schemes worn by Viggens operationally, as well as the special celebratory schemes that became so familiar towards the end of its career. Each profile is accompanied by a detailed caption and a brief operational history.A page of detailed scale drawings illustrates and explains the different versions of the Viggen and another page illustrates unit markings worn by the type as illustrated in the profiles of the book.
