British Aircraft of World War One
Aviators of the Great War have been called ‘Knights of the Sky’ - officers fighting individual combats above a battlefield where millions of men struggled amidst mud, machine guns and shellfire.
The reality was somewhat less glamorous, and the life expectancy of a Royal Flying Corps (RFC) pilot could be measured in weeks. The constant see-sawing of aerial supremacy saw hand-held weapons from rifles and pistols - and even bricks - give way to multiple automatic weapons.
Ace pilots were those who learned to sneak up on their opponents and shoot them in the back. Nonetheless, there was still a degree of chivalry in the skies where the RFC fought, triumphed and emerged in 1918 as the independent Royal Air Force.
British Aircraft of World War One, Issue 84 in the Aviation Archive series, presents the famous and lesser-known fighters, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft of the RFC and RAF 1914-18 through archive photographs, detailed cutaway drawings and colourful profile paintings.

Why Buy Direct
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.

Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue

Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft

Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
