PUBLICATIONS

Beginning in 2014, I have produced a series of booklets on aviation topics, beginning with the visit to Australia of French aviator Maurice Guillaux in 1914. The booklets generally deal with famous flights of the period and later tribute flights eg centenary celebrations. Most of the books deal with famous aviators of the period notably from memorable flights of the period 2014 onwards and any activities involved with Centenary celebrations of these flights. Almost all the books have been published officially with ISBN numbers;

The A5 booklets can be printed on a colour printer that can do duplex printing, (print on both sides of the page), on A4 landscape paper, with binding on short side. Also available is a content file on single pages.
