The Aviation Historian Magazine Issue 24 Edição anterior

Are you a bit tired of the same-old same-old aviation history magazines? Are you looking for something a bit different? Then you’ve come to the right place. In this 24th quarterly edition of The Aviation Historian you can read how a 1950s indigenous aircraft in the Philippines was skinned with woven-bamboo matting (yes, really!); about the mysterious “ghost rockets” seen over Sweden in 1946; and about the world’s first aeronautical exhibition, held in London an astonishing 150 years ago. Fans of military aviation history will enjoy our pilot’s perspective from Gp Capt Tom Eeles on flying the Blackburn Buccaneer S.1 and S.2 for the Fleet Air Arm and the RAF; our in-depth account of Italy’s attempt to create a World War Two air link with its Axis partner Japan; and the challenges facing the USAF when it first deployed Boeing B-47s to the UK in 1953. On the civil side, our cover story examines whether the 1930s really was the “golden age” for Imperial Airways; and how the Vickers Viscount found favour with airlines in the USA. All this, and much more, is illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork. As one TAH subscriber recently said, “The latest issue is a ripsnorter. I'm still wiping the drool off the pages after flicking through!”
