The Great War Aviation Society is run by volunteers from all walks of life.
We are always keen to welcome people interested in joining us. Currently, we are looking for help with the projects below.
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.

Contact! is our new colour magazine
Our aim is to broaden interest in WW1 aviation and develop the reader’s subject knowledge through interesting and enjoyable content.
Each issue contains features on the personnel and aircraft of the Great War, plus technical information, stunning colour artwork, original photos from the Society’s archive and high quality model builds.
We are always interested in reader content. Please note that each issue explores a selected theme, so it’s important to email the team to discuss your article before submitting content.
Not a writer? We are always looking for help proof reading content! Email the team to find out more.

Online events
We currently offer a programme of Zoom talks and are always looking for people who can help work with our events team to organise, promote and host the lectures. If this appeals to you, please get in touch.
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!
