The B-17 is landed at Bulltofta and the Swedish Air Force’s pilot from which were intercepted, controlled and escorted up to ground, go around to the landing circuit for land in turn. Bulltofta airfield is in fact the F10’s base of the Svenska Flygvapnet (Swedish Air Force). Built in the early 1920s, northeast of Malmö, during the WW2 Bulltofta airfield became the Fighter Wing F10 home equipped from late 1941 with the J 20, the Italian-made fighter Reggiane Re.2000 purchased by the Svenska Flygvapnet after the US embargo on American militaries supplies to the country of the Scandinavian area. The most of the duties of the F10’s pilots was patrol flights along the Southern Swedish coastline in the county of Scania near the German coasts: no more than 250-300 miles. For this reason many American heavy bombers crews, unable to reach the Britain, landed in this region liking better the internment in Sweden to a dramatic end or the captivity into a III Reich’s Stalag Luft.

Line up of Caproni Ca.313S of the Svenka Flygvapnet, Swedish Air Force, on a Swedish air base. The Ca.313S was the name of 84 Caproni twin engines purchased by the Swedish government as “Emergency Purchase” and in part paid, as compensations, with fine materials necessary to the Italian war industry. The aircraft was delivered between 1940 and 1941 and shared for different roles: light bomber (Swedish designation B 16A), reconnaissance (Swedish designation S 16), torpedo aircraft/maritime recce (Swedish designation T 16) and light transport (Swedish designation Tp 16). Thirty of the was bombers (B 16A) and equipped, first delivery October 1940, the newly established bomber Wing F 7 at Såtenäs. Other Swedish Caproni’s wing was the F 11 at Nyköping and F 3 at Malmen. Three Swedish Ca.313 was shot down by German fighters, on 18 and 23 May 1944. Many other was lost in accidents and the career of the Caproni twin engines in Flygvapnet ceased just after the end of the WW2 and the planes was phased out and scrapped. None Swedish Ca.313 survived and the airframe today in the Swedish Air Force Museum is a replica 1:1 built for a movie. Victor Sierra
