The Aviation Historian Magazine ISSUE 7 Vorige editie

Tired of reading about all-too-familiar subjects? Then try Issue 7 of TAH and learn something new! Read the latest declassified info about Lockheed U-2 spyplane ops aboard US Navy aircraft carriers; how a mischievous British seaplane pilot buzzed Kaiser Wilhelm’s royal yacht a few days before the onset of World War One; and how Charles Lindbergh nearly got drummed out of the US Army Air Service two years before his epoch-making solo transatlantic flight. Find out why it took 40 attempts, over two years, to find a name for the Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft; how a Tube Merlin gives Reno air-racers an extra competitive edge; and what a civil Blackburn Beverley transport was doing in the Arabian Desert in 1955. Discover which flag-carrier was the only European airline to operate international helicopter services; see previously-unpublished photographs of 1930s Greek military biplanes; and read legendary test pilot John Farley’s first-hand recollections of demonstrating Harrier G-VSTO in the Swiss Alps. All these stories, and many more, are illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.
