About this audio guide
This guide to Aeroseum in Gothenburg goes underground into a fighter hangar blasted out of solid rock in the early nineteen fifties, when Sweden asked how an air force could survive an atomic war. It follows the engineers who shaped these tunnels and the Göta Wing pilots who lived beneath the mountain. Best heard standing in the main tunnel, where you can see how the passages bend.
