AirForces Monthly Magazine British Airpower Yearbook 2024 Sonderausgabe

Welcome to the British Airpower Yearbook 2024, your essential guide to Britain’s air arms, the Royal Air Force, Fleet Air Arm, Army Air Corps and the Royal Artillery. They remain among the world’s most modern and capable air arms, with proud traditions stretching back over 100 years of aerial warfare.

This 116-page special by the team behind AirForces Monthly aims to provide an overview of Britain’s current military aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as profiling the major commands and units that operate them.

This year the main focus is on the historic airfields and stations used by Britain’s air arms, looking at their illustrious history and current roles. We look back at what Britain’s military aviators have been doing over the past year and look forward to new developments on the horizon.

Fittingly, in the 80th anniversary year of the D-Day landings in Normandy, we reflect on the iconic battle that turned the course of World War Two. A handful of surviving RAF veterans, who are all well into their nineties, will this year be on parade for the last time.
