The Aviation Historian Magazine  |  Issue 16
August 1988: a BAe 125 carrying the Botswanan President to Luanda appears on the radar screen of a Cuban-manned Angolan MiG-23 Flogger — lock on — fire! Africa specialist Tom Cooper recounts what happened next, in just one of many in-depth articles in the latest issue, TAH16. Other main features include the early years of Cold War spy flights over the USSR, Korea and China in 1949–51; the political punch-ups and lost opportunities surrounding BEA’s procurement of the Hawker Siddeley Trident airliner; the German side of the famous Cuffley Zeppelin shootdown in 1916; and a first-hand account of flying with Silver City Airways — not the familiar story of crossing the English Channel in Bristol Freighters, but operating DC-3s in the deserts of Libya! We also examine Norway’s semi-clandestine wartime transport service between the UK and Scandinavia, operated with BOAC; and we probe the true extent of technological co-operation between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during World War Two. Plus, for lovers of unorthodox and obscure aircraft, we tell the story of Willard Custer and his Channel Wing aeroplanes, and throw light on how the US Navy considered the tiny Nieuport-Macchi M.16 microbiplane for possible use as a submarine-based spotter in the early 1920s. All these stories, and more, are illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.
