>>>The first three air ejection tests were carried out the most likely dates being winter 1941.

A modified Junkers Ju-86K [Saab B3], with electrically operated test equipment installed in the rear, upper gunner cabin and a film camera on one of the wing tips, was used to carry out the tests.
In the first "model test" a large 80mm diameter ball was "ejected" to a height of 4m. with the aircraft travelling at 350km/h. The track of the falling ball was recorded by the wing camera and a chase aircraft.

Full scale tests were carried out on 8th January 1942 when a full sized 80kg. dummy attached to a seat. With the aircraft flying at 280km/h. the seat and dummy were ejected. The seat cleared the aircraft by 4-5m. The successful ejection was witnessed by the pilots in the aircraft and chase plane. No film record exists for this first aerial test of an ejection seat in Sweden as the seat ejection sequence was initiated before the camera crews were ready. History has a habit of repeating itself.
In the first "live" American ejection seat test in August 1946 the very same thing happened. There have also been some unconfirmed reports that the very first German ejection seat tests from the Ju-87 in 1941 were also "missed".>>>>

Min kandidat är B3--175 , men någon annan kan väl ha använts av Saab just då ?
