The Aviation Historian Magazine  |  Issue 38
Did you know that, during World War Two, a plan was being hatched to build Boeing B-29 Superfortresses in the UK, and power them with Bristol Centaurus engines? Read all about why — and why in the end it didn’t happen — in this 38th quarterly edition of The Aviation Historian. Also in this issue, continuing our mission to explore the lesser-known paths of flying history, we complete our two-part history of Ethiopian Airlines; look at the development of the outboard tailplane concept (think Virgin SpaceShip); and examine some ill-fated French naval fighter jet prototypes of the 1940s. We also look back at the early years of aviation in Siam; how civilian pilots flew seriously tooled-up light aircraft as part of the British South Africa Police Reserve Air Wing in Rhodesia; and pleasure-flying at Butlin’s holiday camps. All this, and much more — including the political background to Britain’s return to full membership of the Airbus fold in the late 1970s, and whether the Supermarine Scimitar could ever have been made into a world-class carrier fighter — is illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.
