Good stuff, Hesham. I can add a few details and a correction ...

Two SW 11 (Farman HF.23 copies) were built. The SW 11 was powered by a 90 hp Thulin A 9-cyl rotary pusher.

The SW 15 was an original design powered by a 110 hp Scania-Vabis inline 6-cylinder engine (directly copied from the German Mercedes D.II but of somewhat poorer quality).

The SW 16 used the 8.76 m span upper wing from the SW 12 (see below).

Both the Södertelge Verkstäder SW 12 and SW 20 were Albatros B.II copies (ie: the SW 12 was not an Albatros D single-seat fighter).

Eight of the SW 12 2-seat recce biplanes were built in 1915/1916. The powerplant is listed as a 100 hp Mercedes (presumably the same Mercedes D.I that powered the Albatros B.I).

Four SW 20 Albatros B.II copies were built in 1916/1917. They differed in being powered by the 110 hp Scania-Vabis inline 6-cylinder.
