EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1950s, a de Havilland DH-113 Vampire F-10 jet fighter soars through the clear Swedish sky. The Vampire, a single-engine, jet-powered aircraft, was a versatile design that served as both a fighter and a bomber. Its sleek, streamlined shape and distinctive inverted gull-wing configuration were emblematic of the advanced technology of the post-World War II era. The DH-113 Vampire F-10, with the serial number 28211 34, was an evolution of the successful DH-112 Venom, which had first entered service in the late 1940s. The Vampire was powered by a de Havilland Ghost 45 engine, capable of generating 5,500 pounds of thrust, giving the aircraft a top speed of over 550 miles per hour. This image captures the Vampire in its element, demonstrating the power and agility that made it an essential part of the Swedish Air Force's arsenal during the Cold War. The aircraft's distinctive markings, including the red and blue roundels and the white tail fin, are clearly visible against the blue sky. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of military aviation and the technological innovations that shaped the 1950s. The de Havilland Vampire was a testament to the company's engineering prowess and its ability to adapt to the changing demands of military aviation. Its legacy continues to be felt today, as many of its design features and innovations have influenced the development of modern military aircraft. This photograph is a fitting tribute to the DH-113 Vampire F-10 and the role it played in the history of military aviation.
