This magazine provides comprehesive coverage of worldwide military aviation events and achievements. Consistantly well organized, with clearly written news and feature articles, all written from a unique British perspective give the reader a global overview of military aviation. Feature articles on the Air Forces of the world, from Albania to Zambia leave no details uncovered. Equipment inventories, attrition rates, maintainence capabilities, and personnel interviews precisely summarize the military aviation capabilities and performance of air forces the world over.

I regularly buy it but do not subscribe (8/10 issues per year out of 12). The only problem is in US market it is only available after it is taken off from UK or it arrives a month late.

I have written to AFM editor but according to its management shipping to US from UK in today's day and age takes > 1 month. This is a monthly magazine so does not make sense.

Definitely the best magazine available in the US that covers timely military aviation news. I really enjoy seeing the British/European perspective on a lot of combat aircraft developments, even when I don't necessarily agree with it. I know that some of their articles and air force profiles are actually quoted in certain US military materials. I also was able to get one of my pictures from an airshow published once, which I thought was fantastic. Contrary to one of the reviews, I've subscribed to it (in the US) for almost ten years and have not had a problem, I've even moved three times and they did not have any trouble getting the address changed.

Even if you choose not to subscribe to it - definitely check it out at Barnes & Nobles sometime.

While this magazine is a high quality periodical about military aviation, getting a subscription of this UK magazine to be delivered to a US address was impossible. I put in a subscription in September 2010, and I never got a single subscription. despite 5 months of waiting. This is despite three separate, fruitless phone calls to the US vendor handling subscription requests from US residents. I suggest that you spare yourself the inconvenience and forget the idea of taking a subscription if you are in the US.
