The Aviation Historian – Again!! – Let Let Let

Some years ago (in 2012) we gave some attention on this website on the introduction of a new aviation magazine. It is a quarterly with the name ‘The Aviation Historian’ with Nick Stroud as editor. The first issue was released in October 2012.

Meanwhile, issue number 18 (January 15, 2017) was recently released. The magazine has kept up its reputation to place a nice variety of articles on aviation. Some of these are comic, others tragic but they all give information that has been little or not published before both on civil and military aviation. Issue number 18 gives a nine page article from my hand on the little known Fokker S.13 crew trainer.

Other articles by various authors in this issue are on:

-the Vickers VC 10 transport plane
-rare aircraft pictures taken at Chateau d’Ardenne in Belgium
-the end of the Hawker Seafury at Lossiemouth
-amazing details on unconventional air tactics/methods used by Germany in WW II
-testing of the Boeing KC-135 at Moses Lake
-data, pictures and colour profiles of the Ansaldo A.1 fighter
-operations of the Dassault Mirage from the Congo
-Ted Blaker and National Airlines
-Hawker Hunter air-to-air pictures
-the wartime bomber pilot career of Joseph Heller, author of ‘Catch 22’
-the obscure Hillson Helvelyn
-propliners in Finland
