The Aviation Historian Magazine | The Aviation Historian Annual No 1
Climbing skywards (while armed to the teeth) on the cover of our TAH Annual No 1 — our first issue since our transition from quarterly to yearly publication — a Panavia Tornado GR.1B reflects our cover story: Chris Gibson’s examination of BAe Dynamics’ Sea Eagle anti-shipping missile, illustrated with top-notch information graphics by Ian Bott.
Elsewhere in the packed 260-page Annual 1: Andy Saunders’ mythbusting article about the Battle of Britain; James Kightly’s reappraisal of KLM Douglas DC-2 Uiver’s astonishing achievement in the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race; a rare look at France’s airmail rockets; early USAAC experiments in cabin pressurisation; the obscure Fleet Model 50 Freighter; de Havilland Puss Moth structural failures, and a forlorn attempt to improve the hapless Short Seamew. All of the above barely scratches the surface of the rich and satisfying feast of history awaiting you — so we also feature Henschel Hs 129 tankbusters in North Africa; Armstrong Whitworth Argosy service in the USA; 1940 troop-glider training; the Caproni Ca 100 in Peru, and the history of Scandinavian regional airline Widerøe.
All this — and much more — awaits you in Annual No 1 of The Aviation Historian.
