World War One Aviation Magazines

[Taz]

We have a sudden and very welcome influx of newcomers to the Forum who may not know all the sources for WW-I aviation magazines. I thought I would provide a quick summary of those magazines in hopes we might entice a few new subscribers and add some new blood to our hobby. No particular order, just the ones I picked up first. These are magazines dedicated to WW-I aviation. Since you are using this site you must be computer literate, so I am just providing web sites:

Might the influx of new forumites be related to Flyboys?

crankcase- You are one smart fellow. Hopefully they will turn into enthusiasts the same way The Blue Max created enthusiasts when it came out 40 years ago in 1966.

Good thinking, Taz. Maybe you could reccommend a couple of good WW1 artists as well.

Russ, Robert- Probably a good idea. Do you guys know any good artists who specialize in WW-I aviation art?

Hi Taz, Russell and karrart:

This would be a great new section for the forum “recommend readings”...

and when it comes to WW1 art I have always enjoyed aviation art that’s whey I support all you WW1 Dr.I artists on my site.

It would be great to have the publishers to reprint some of the masters like the book I call my bible "The Fokker Triplane" by Alex Imrie. Now theirs two on Amazon one for $185.00 and the other for $875.00. Thanks god I have one in excellent condition.

Lloyd...

Lloyd- Makes my three copies look like a pretty good investment, especially since I never paid more than $35 for a copy. One is signed by Alex, too. None are for sale, however. It would be nice if Alex' book were updated and a new edition printed.
