Welcome to Cross & Cockade International!

The purpose of Cross and Cockade International is to provide quality detailed information on, and promote research into, all aspects of aviation up to the end of the First World War. We do this primarily through our quarterly journal available by subscription, and by occasional seminars and informal local meetings. The Society has existed in it's present form since 1970 and in various forms since 1960.

2021 Subscriptions are now available - see Membership menu above. If you have not yet paid for your 2020 Subscription, please do so; they are still available. If you are not yet a member and wish to join and receive our quarterly journal, please subscribe using the link to the right or by using the "Membership" menu above.

BOOK SHOP

We have a large selection of mainly WW1 aviation-related books for sale, both our own publications and also many second-hand books. Please click on the Shop menu above.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MEMBERS AND CUSTOMERS IN THE EU REGARDING BOOK SALES

Unfortunately, after 31st December 2020 we have to block all sales to EU countries, to members and non-members, until the EU and UK implement the promised “one-stop shop” (OSS) for VAT registration. Otherwise we will have to pay registration and administrative costs in each country that exceed our revenue, or risk punitive fines. If and when the OSS materialises, it will allow us to register once for VAT in the EU – probably in Eire, as we have to use the native language of each country for registration. After that we will have to charge VAT on goods as per the rules in each individual EU country we’re delivering into, for each product type. This will inevitably result in some price increases.

Books can be posted to non-EU countries outside the UK, but unfortunately postage costs have massively increased during the Covid epidemic due to reduced airline flights and therefore reduced space in cargo holds.

Please note this does NOT apply to membership subscriptions and journal postage which will continue to be available as normal.

Despite the Covid crisis journal production continues, and the Society will function and develop as planned except for face-to-face contact.

Upcoming Digital Journal

From 2022, a digital pdf version of the Journal will be available. Members can see sample pdf version of Vol 51/4 in the Members' Area, above.

This will be an alternative to the printed Journal, not a replacement. Subscription cost will be less for Members wanting the digital version only, and the content will be fully searchable online.
