Farks Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I took the time to translate some of the parts featuring the Viggen in the book Operation Garbo to English. I left the comments open for any suggested improvements or language errors (spelling, grammar, etc). Viggen excerpts from Operation Garbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikke_EAF331 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The Operation Garbo series of books was (is still actually) really good, especially the first two books, I remember reading the first one just months before the fall of the Soviet Union, the book is about how SU launches an attack on Sweden as a try to keep SU from falling apart. It is also gives a good idea on what kind of resources Sweden had in the late 80's early 90's, not just in the air but on land and on/in water as well. Another book worth reading, if you can find it and can read swedish, is "Slaget om Gävle", IIRC there's not as much flying in that one though.

Goblin Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 "Slaget om Gävle" Thanks for the tip! Never heard of that one, but I lived in Gävle when I read Op. Garbo when I read about the Russians rolling past Hemlingby, where I lived. I felt like looking out the window to make sure it wasn’t for real... ;) Very good books! Back then I was a high school student and couldn’t afford to buy the books. Found them at an old bookstore a few years ago, so I have them in my bookshelf.
