On 23 April, I will be delivering a #VirtualLecture at the @rafmuseum.bsky.social on the subject of 'An ‘admirable achievement’: The 'War in the Air,' Creating the Narrative, and the Origins of a Discipline' drrossmahoney.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/v... #airpowerhistory #WW1 #RAF #plsRT

We launched our new website earlier this year and will be updating our content in the New Year to share more of our Journals and to keep you up to date with our events. rafhistoricalsociety.org.uk

I’m very grateful to Harry, John, and Aeroplane editor Ben Dunnell for the opportunity to contribute to both publications.

Secondly, my chapter examining the development and employment of Aerial Rocket Artillery helicopters by the US Army is in the collection Close Air Support, edited by Harry Raffal (@rafhistory.bsky.social) and John Alexander (@ac1shaw.bsky.social) and published today by Helion.

Sorry for the self-promotion, but I’m very pleased to see two pieces appear in print in the last few days. Firstly, my article on the decision to cancel TSR2 can be found in the Jan ’25 issue of 'Aeroplane' magazine, out last week (alongside @jdkightly.bsky.social’s excellent Wirraway article).
