Our fourth edition already, and the completion of our first year’s-worth of publishing! In this issue, discover the details of America’s Cold War project to build a nuclear-powered aircraft: yes, imagine a nuclear reactor cruising 40,000ft above our heads at 400 m.p.h.! — and, more importantly, imagine it going wrong . . . We also have a vivid first-hand account of what it was like to operate the Supermarine Seafire from an aircraft carrier; the forgotten story of Britain’s AD 1 non-rigid airship of 1929; and a history of Italy’s stylish Nardi Riviera amphibian of the 1950s. Meanwhile we have a double feature about Harrier two-seat demonstrator G-VTOL; we shed light on the little-known post-WW2 gun-running activities of photo-reconnaissance pioneer and Sidcot flying-suit inventor Sidney Cotton; and we examine the recent fuss about whether the Wright Brothers really were the first to fly an aeroplane. All these stories and many more are illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.

Combining the permanence of a book with the diversity of a magazine, TAH is a boldly independent quarterly journal aimed at aviation’s “true believers” — anyone with a deep and abiding passion for the history of mankind’s quest to master the skies. If you want to take your interest to a new level, beyond the mainstream magazines available in the newsagents’ shops and online, TAH is for you. It will tell you things you never knew, and show you aircraft you have never seen. It will give you goosebumps; it will make you smile. It will expand your horizons and help you see the bigger picture of how flying has shaped and influenced humanity.

Brought to you by experienced former Aeroplane magazine principals Nick Stroud and Mick Oakey, TAH uses original source material — often little-known and previously unpublished — to explore aeronautical history from its beginnings to modern jets and the birth of spaceflight. It encompasses military and civil flying, the “golden era” between the World Wars, the Cold War, and many less familiar corners of the past.

Blending high-quality information, stunning archive photographs, uncluttered design and unrivalled graphics into a compact 132-page package four times a year, TAH is unlike any other aviation publication.

As a subscriber you'll receive the following benefits:


•  A discount off the RRP of your magazine
•  Your magazine delivered to your device each month
•  You'll never miss an issue
•  You’re protected from price rises that may happen later in the year

You'll receive 4 issues during a 1 year The Aviation Historian Magazine magazine subscription.
