Air Pictorial was a Britishaviationmagazine covering contemporary and historicalmilitary andcivil aviation topics. By 2002, when the magazine was renamedAviation News (a title that had been incorporated into it six years previously),Air Pictorial comprised 64 volumes containing 620 issues between them.[1]
Initially published asAir Defence Corps Gazette in 1939,[2] it was renamed toAir Training Corps Gazette: The Journal of the Air Training Corps in 1941, resetting the issue numbering to Vol.1 No.1 in the process. In 1946, the title was changed toAir Reserve Gazette, restarting the numbering at Vol.1 No.1 again. In January 1947 the numbering was reset to Vol.9 No.1, reflecting the cumulative volumes from 1939 to ease confusion.[3] In 1951Air Pictorial & Air Reserve Gazette was adopted, and in April 1958 the "& Air Reserve Gazette" part of the title was dropped, becomingAir Pictorial.[2]
The magazine was produced at various times by theAir League, Rolls House Publishing Co., Profile Books and HPC Publishing, the latter being based inEast Sussex.[2]
