Read the Journal of Military Aviation History (Under Construction)
The Journal of Miltiary Aviation History (JMAH) published its first issue on November 15, 2017. Currently, the first two issues are under construction as the website is revitalized.
The publishing plan calls for an annual issue to be published each year on December 1st. The Journal has moved to the Old Primero Historical Foundation (a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization) so that publication of JMAH will continue on, so that our previous two issues Volumes 1 and 2, together with our new issue Volume 3, all will appear on December 1, 2026.
JMAH is an online journal with open access to readers. No dues, payments, or fees will be charged for access. It is the intention of the editorial staff to make a contribution to the literature of miltiary aviation history and provide as wide as possible readership so that our scholarship will make an impact on the body of knowledge, with no limits placed on the educational use of our journal. As each volume is published online, active links to the issue will appear below, and the reader will be able to download a pdf copy of the issue for their personal use.
Any commercial use or reposting a part or all of any issue requires written permission of the editor.
Update: Due to the epidemic in 2020 and our move to the Old Primero Historical Foundation, our issue schedule had to be adjusted. The following issues are the current issues that will be available after construction and revitalization is complete on December 1, 2026. Beginning in 2027, the Journal will be issued annually.
Volume 1 — 2017-2018 (Under Construction-Will repost December 1, 2025))
Volume 2 — 2019-2022 (Under Construction-Will repost December 1, 2026))
Volume 3 — 2023-2026 (Available December 1, 2026)
