The Aviation Historian Magazine  |  Issue 25
“Let’s buy an American fighter aircraft, the F-4 Phantom”, said the UK government in the 1960s, “now that we’ve cancelled pretty much all of our own new-generation jet projects. But at the same time let’s support British industry by insisting it must be adapted to take Rolls-Royce engines”. Oh dear. Professor Keith Hayward delves into the archives to uncover the full jaw-dropping story, in this 25th quarterly edition of The Aviation Historian. Elsewhere in this issue we reveal that “dodgy dossiers” have a longer history than you might think: in 1938 Britain commissioned two assessments of Germany’s bombing capabilities — which, instead of leading us into war, may have led to the ill-fated policy of appeasement. Also in TAH25, we look at Convair’s weird waterborne jet fighter projects; the RAF’s 1920s Far East Flight; a little-known ECM version of the Soviet Yak-28 bomber; and BEA de Havilland Dragon Rapides in the Channel Islands. All this, and much more, is illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork. As one TAH reader recently said, “The Aviation Historian is produced by an old-school approach to editorial standards and quality, and this is why is it such a great publication. It's a modern take on what aviation periodicals used to be, and with this it flies over the competition”.
