Mag covers through the ages

Some more WW2 action hots - well these are nearly all 'warbirds' shots. Few mags use wartime snaps for their covers.

Perhaps someone should create an archive of magazine articles? I have always thought it a shame that stuff gets 'lost'. Unlike some mags and comics plane mag publishers seldom re-publish. FP is good coz of the themes. And Aeroplane has had some good fact files. But once they're on to the next issue the only recourse is EBay. But as I have found while the purchase price is OK, good even, it is the postage that kills you. That said sometimes there's local pick up. One guy sold me some bound volumes of Air Intnl and let me off the postage! Dunno how he did it. Maybe through his company or something. Heaviest parcel I have ever had from EBay and it was gratis. There is a benificent god up there!

I also ponder about file sharing of mag scans like P2P etc. OK for MP3 and vids but it's a minority sport for plane mags. Then you have to think about copyright. Nothing to stop one to one plane mag bootlegs I suppose. But an online archive you can forget. I have often been tempted to sign up for Av Week just because of the online archive. But there's very little history stuff in this hi-tech mag.

You can almost read some photos. See the TSR2 one here. But scans are better though they take time. Maybe I could video a mag? Ho ho!

By way of an experiment here is a zip file for you to download. I did a quick run through of a couple of old plane mags I was reading with the digicam. If you read them in the file sequence you can more or less enjoy the whole articles.

I snapped the pages a bit closer this time so you read the text clearly.

There is an article on the Tigercat and then one on the F20 Tigershark. Both are from old issues of Air International.

Plus here are some more old pix from EBay etc.

Here are some more of those EBay covers etc.

Something of a Russian flavour this time.

A resounding silence about the zipped photos of the Tigercat article - someone must have looked at it?

More covers for your delectation.

To be honest, I completely missed it. If you ahdn't said anything, I would have scrolled past it. You put it at the bottom of your post, where most people have a sig with a witty line below. I guees my eyes are trained to keep moving.

Looks interesting
 
More mag covers and inserts from EBay! Some are OK, nice and clear, others not so - cardinal rule of EBay is to post clear photos. Maybe they don't have a decent digicam. Seems some publisher did a series on great cars so I pinched a few of them too. There are some nice covers of comics too. Some a bit lascivious to liven things up a bit on dull evenings. Plus of course the odd gentleman's sporting magazine to warm the cockles.
