The Aeroplane

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know if there is a source for vintage copies (or CDs) of "The Aeroplane" eg 1911 to 1960 ? I see that early editions of "Flight" are available on the Web but there does not seem to be a similar archive for "The Aeroplane" ... or is there ? Would appreciate some help on this alternative source. Regards Jeff.

Hi CjB
Just to let you know, I have tried the site you gave. Fantastic find ; "The Aeroplane Collection 1912 to 1922" on CD for $8.25. Great !!
The only problem is that I cannot purchase it because apparently it is not available to the UK .... aaaarrrrgggghhh !!! Very frustrating. Can yourself, or anyone suggest a solution ? Regards Jeff

Try googling:

full text of "the aeroplane" - internet archive 1916

or replace 1916 with any other year for 1911-1922

Hi Errol
Good news. I have now managed to relocate and order the "Aeroplane" CD.
After being initially told by ebay that the item was not available to the UK, it turns out that the problem was with my computer and Windows 10. Am now looking forward to receiving it sometime soon. My thanks again to CjB and yourself for all your kind assistance. Regards Jeff
