Most of the duties of the Chief of Air Force Command were transferred to the newly instituted post of "Inspector General of the Air Force" (Swedish: Generalinspektören för flygvapnet, GI FV).

The post is similar to that of the "Inspector General of the Army" (Swedish: Generalinspektören för armén) and the "Inspector General of the Navy" (Swedish: Generalinspektören för marinen).

The Inspector General also played an important representative role in connection with the then increasing international operations.

He represented the air force in connection with various forms of high-level visits within and outside the country.

He also served as host when other nations' air force commanders visited Sweden.
