Great War Aviation Society Releases 2024 Calendar

Our friends at The Great War Aviation Society (Cross & Cockade International) have released their new, 25th edition calendar for 2024.

The full-color, 298 mm x 210 mm (A4) 2024 installment includes 12 stunning, full-color works created by luminaries within the field of WW1 aviation art, such as Graham Turner. Graham was awarded first prize for Best First World War Aviation Picture at the Guild of Aviation Artists’ Annual Summer Exhibition in June 2023 for his painting Letord Let.5, which is the featured painting for March.

The calendar has been compiled and produced by Roger Tisdale since 1999 and continues to sell out yearly. Roger comments, “It’s a labour of love compiling the annual calendar, making sure that there is an eclectic mix of aircraft and styles to suit all tastes.”

As with previous years, proceeds will assist in the upkeep of the British Air Services Memorial at St Omer, which was erected by the society in 2004 to commemorate the 8,000 airmen who gave their lives in France and Flanders during WW1. Peter Dye, President of the Great War Aviation Society, said, “Our mission is to explore, preserve and share information on this fascinating period, ensuring that the aircraft, aviators, ground crew, and their sacrifices are never forgotten. The British Air Services Memorial is a permanent tribute to these early aviation pioneers. We are honoured to be able to help financially maintain the Memorial, so that it remains ‘fit for heroes’.”

1942 Aeronca Defender Project For Sale: “Airframe Solid, No Rust, Stored Dry”

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A 1942 Aeronca L3E Defender projecy has been spotted for sale. The listing states:

For Sale, N39366; 1942 Aeronca L3E Defender 65TAF Project. This was a beautiful flying example of a war bird. Manufactured in 1942, the first round of Aeronca’s impressed during the war, few remain. Sadly, it suffered a ground loop. It damaged one wing, the wing tip and easily repairable with my jig that goes to the purchaser. A few fuselage tubes have slight bends to something more. One landing gear case frame was damaged and one strut. The engine mount is good, the wheels undamaged, the tail feathers all good. The entire airframe is solid, no rust or areas of pitting. In fact, the green epoxy primer is in very nice shape throughout this project. It includes log book, the data plates, an airworthiness and chain of bills of sale and other paperwork. It appears to have all the small and hard to find items. I have an extensive photo collection. I had planned to restore it but I need to buy a new truck. Stored high and dry, as it has been from its restoration, its a great undertaking and a rare and inexpensive warbird. There are some extras. You wont be disappointed.

The project is located in Easton, Pennsylvania and is currently available for US $5,300. Click here to check out the listing on eBay.
