In my opinion the finest WW1 aviation journal - essential reading and never fails to delight and impress.
Back issues available on request from the site or from Aviattic (limited stocks) in the UK. |

New, excellent publication focussing on German WW1 and WW2 military history. So far the subject of WW1 aviation has been admirably represented - long may it continue!

Albatros Productions
Ray Rimell has towered over the world of WW1 aviation modelling for five decades, leading the way for model companies and publishers alike - almost single-handedly at times flying the flag for our beloved subject and earning the whole community's respect, affection and admiration.
His tireless efforts have helped create a thriving model, decal, accessory and publications bonanza today, compared with the slim pickings of Ray's (and many of ours!) childhood..
Trust me - this would not have happened had it not been for Albatros Productions.
Hundreds of the indespensible "Datafile" series, penned - if not by Ray - by some of the world's leading experts. The Wingnut Wings build specials. The bi-monthly "Windsock" journals - now, sadly, overtaken by the relentless noise of the internet, full of well illustrated factual articles as well as modelling builds, "how to's" and reviews.
And featuring Aviattic products I am proud to say..
Back issues available from Albatros and some (limited) from Aviattic.

Cross and Cockade
The C&C journal (and its defunct US equivalent) are a "must-have" in any serious WW1 aviation enthusiasts library.
Articles of recent years have not flinched form exploring lesser known aspects of the air war and the reader is rewarded by thoroughly studying each each issue.
Back issues available from C&C and some (limited) from Aviattic.

Wingnut Wings
What can one say?! Arriving out of the Antipodean blue in 2009, (at the start of the UK's "age of austerity"!)
Sir Peter Jackson's gift to us all just keeps giving - and taking every last penny of our expendable income!
At last having the highest quality, dream-like kits of WW1 subjects inspired me and Harry to forge ahead (we had already developed "lozenge" decals for our own use) with Aviattic and eventually offer our own complimentary products.
