So looking forward to this. @AnchitGupta9 has established his thorough #AvHist credentials through frequent well-researched articles; this book promises to extend them 👍🏽

The 109-year history of Air Headquarters—the heart of Indian military aviation—has never been documented—until now! This book uncovers the untold history of Air Headquarters! Along the way, it stumbles upon incredible stories of people, places, and moments that have shaped the @IAF_MCC . Coming very soon. 100% of the royalty will go to the IAF Benevolent Association, which gives scholarships to IAF kids. Three decades ago, I was the grateful recipient of one such scholarship. #IAFHistory

In our latest #podcast, Dr Mike Hankins and @BrianLaslie come up with questions to ask each other about what it’s like to be a historian and pick on some of their favourite topics about air power and aviation history. https://t.co/sx1ZYKYa1i #airpowerhistory #avhist #plsRT

As everyone seemed to enjoy yesterday's clip, here's a few more shots. A De Havilland Hornet performs for the camera, July 1945, in this film preserved by the @I_W_M Film Archive. Full film at the link. #WW2 #AvHist #AvGeek IWM ARY 7-88 / https://t.co/q3kk2dsRDg

A timeline cleanse. Fifty silent seconds of a De Havilland Hornet, looking sleek & graceful, in flight above clouds in July 1945. Hornets arrived too late to serve in #WW2, but saw action during counterinsurgency in Malaya #AvGeek #AvHist @I_W_M ARY 7-88 / https://t.co/q3kk2dsjNI

@AirPowerHistory Modernist design is at least sort of related to aircraft moderne. Instead of buildings, imagine Spits and Hurris. But yes, go back to buildings and think of those stunning 1930s art deco aerodromes. And there you are: back in #MilHist #AvHist (image nicked from pinterest)

Today in 1940 the Fairey Barracuda naval bomber made its first flight. Pictured here a Barracuda, with radar aerial sprouting from its wings, lands on the escort carrier HMS Ravager with a batsman's help, in December 1943. #AvHist #AvGeek IWM A 21285 / https://t.co/EOXlwJRegr

Paperwork hasn't come through yet but, you know me, when I get excited I have to share. I've been invited to contribute to @AWMemorial Wartime again. Absolutely thrilled to get back to #avhist. Many thanks @KarlJames_1945 Note to self: start working on Untitled Spitfire Article.

Came across this exceedingly glamorous shot of a Bristol Blenheim IV c.1940, and thought its shapely form should grace your timelines too. #AvGeek #AvHist IWM HU 107413 / https://t.co/0OdeWH8yCZ

As a former Philadelphian, my favorite Manship globe is the Aero Memorial, located directly across from @TheFranklin. This bronze monument honors the aviators who died during #WWI. Further info via @AssocPublicArt: https://t.co/AfhQtPo16v #Aviation #AvHist #Philly
