Magazine Guide: United Kingdom Part Two
Aeroplane is a military and civil historic magazine that mainly covers the period between 1920-1970. It was launched as Aeroplane Monthly in 1973 by Richard T Riding, who edited it until 1998. However, the magazine can trace its lineage back to The Aeroplane, which was founded by the legendary CG Grey and published between 1911 and 1968. Aeroplane incorporates some information from The Aeroplane, such as Picture of the Month and database. In 1999 the 'Monthly' part of the title was dropped and the magazine just became known as Aeroplane. Regular features include: One of the best features of the magazine is the Database section. Introduced in mid-2000, it is a comprehensive feature on a specific civil or military aircraft and includes the type's history, scale drawings and cutaway, a technical description, what the aircraft was like to fly, the aircraft in service and survivors. In addition to articles on aircraft, Aeroplane also has a fair number of stories on the people who flew and operated the aircraft. Aeroplane has quite a large number of articles in each issue, pushing the number of pages to about 100.
