Manufactured in 1946. Text from an advertisement in November 1945 issue of Flying magazine. Yes, you will be proud of your new Swift... proud of its trim, streamlined beauty and proud of the things it will do in the air. The Swift looks trim and smart and smooth because trimness and smoothness are built in. The sound, basic design of the Swift, plus modern all-metal construction, means natural stability and safety... and high performance that makes flying a challenging sport and a profitable means of travel. Along with a cruising speed of 130 mph (209 kmh), 700 mls (1,127 km) range, a rate of climb of 700 ft (213 m) per minute and a service ceiling of 15,000 ft (4,572 m) the Swift gives you a landing speed as low as 42 mph (68 kmh) with the ability to get in and out of the smallest landing fields practical for any airplane... plus airworthiness and simplicity of control that makes flying safe and easy for any licensed pilot. In addition to new standards of performance and safety the Swift gives you the deluxe features of comfort and convenience that you've never known before in a low cost personal airplane. The Swift is the original personal plane to be built with semi-monocoque military type construction, complete with segmental wing and all-metal skin. You can be among the first to fly your own new Swift by arranging with your local dealer for delivery of one of the first Swifts he receives. Write for the name and address of the Swift dealer nearest to your home. You'll be the envy of the airport with your safe, new ALL-METAL SWIFT.
