Production of the Saab 18 totaled 245 examples, with the last T 18B being delivered in 1948. Used in trials of early

B 18B was one of the planes used to test rockets of different types. In 1949-1950 all planes were redesignated as attack aircraft and got the ability to equip 12 light rockets or 8 light rockets and 2 heavy rockets. During the same period they also got
