Welcome to Cross & Cockade International!


Issue 49/1 was posted out last week, 14th March. A terrific effort by Mick Davis, Colin Huston and also Allan at Warwick Print. By now (22nd March) the journal should have hit the doormats of all UK members - and also those of overseas subscribers who opted for airmail. On that note, we're discussing the possibility of dropping the surface mail option for future years. We're finding that most of our lost items are from the 50 members still subscribing surface mail, and the extra cost of airmail to members is just £1 per year. Plus, if you subscribe airmail, you get your journal SO much more quickly! Surface mail delivery can take weeks - or even months. Understandably, nearly ALL our "where's my journal" queries come from surface mail subscribers. If dropping the surface mail option is a problem for you, please get in touch - here's your chance to influence our thinking!

Saturday 21st April is the society's 2018 AGM. The venue is RAF Museum, Hendon - where doors open at 10:00. The full day's agenda is here.

Issue 24 of our popular free email newsletter Wind in the Wires went out in February, containing all the latest events and news relating to our fascinating subject. Subscribe here to receive future issues, and/or email me if you'd like to be sent the back numbers. We've over 1,200 subscribers - and it's free - so why not see what you're missing? PLEASE NOTE that if you think you've subscribed, but haven't received your issue, you'd do well to check your spam filter(s)!

Our latest publication, "Wings Over Mesopotamia, Air War in Iraq 1914 - 18" was launched at our 2017 AGM - and is selling well. Get your copy and read the fascinating story of the air was over Iraq (as it's now known) here, in the web shop. More details of what's in the book here.

It's also your last chance to buy our 2018 Calendar! We've only a handful left, so if there's a calendar-shaped gap on your office wall, you can grab one now, here.

Another batch of pre-loved WW1 aviation books are available on the web shop - and more will be arriving shortly. - all at very reasonable prices. Watch this space!
We have an active Facebook page, cared for by Adrian Roberts; plus a twitter account @crosscockade which is also growing in popularity!
