OUR JOURNAL

Cross & Cockade
International Journal

Many Society members are authors and researchers. If you have written about WW1 aviation, we are keen to hear from you. Cross & Cockade International is interested in publishing original content relating to all aspects of aviation in the various warring nations, covering all types of aircraft, squadrons, crew and relevant sites. A copy of a document relating to our ‘house style’ is available on request.

OUR HISTORY

Photo indexing

We have an incredible archive of around 250,000 photographs and documents relating to First World War aviation. We are cataloguing the photographs so we can put our archive online for the benefit of all our members. If you know the difference between a BE2a and BE2b or can spot if a photograph was taken at Henden, then we want to hear from you!
