1st Air Command (Sweden)
open-in-new
<p>The 1st Air Command , previously named Air Command (<a href="/facts/Swedish_language/1DkSIXkH">Swedish</a>: <i>Flygeskadern</i>) and later named Attack Command (<a href="/facts/Swedish_language/1DkSIXkH">Swedish</a>: <i>Attackeskadern</i>) was an <a href="/facts/Group_(military_aviation_unit)/C3XWoLD0">air group</a> unit in the <a href="/facts/Swedish_Air_Force/wSXhmjxM">Swedish Air Force</a>. The 1st Air Command was the collective name given to the attack wings who would jointly carry out heavier attacks in the event of war. It was active in various formations from 1938 to 1995. It was directly subordinate to the <a href="/facts/Supreme_Commander_of_the_Swedish_Armed_Forces/GvCALVeX">Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces</a> and therefore nicknamed <i>ÖB:s klubba</i> ("Supreme Commander's <a href="/facts/Club_(weapon)/DRU9yL8M">club</a>"). </p>
