Index of aircraft in Aircraft Archive books?

[CarLos]

Aircraft Archive books are a good resourse of good scale drawings previously published in Aeromodeller and Scale Models (at least). Some volumes can be found for cheap second hand, the problem is that I don't know which aircraft are covered in each tome. Is there somewhere a published list of the contents?

Thanks!

I do not know about individual index for these magazines, but I purchased a book called "The Index" by Patrick Martin many years ago, it has the contents listed from about 15+ magazines in alphabetical order.

It is around 2ins thick and quite a considerable tome, I have found it to be an indespesible guide and very accurate, it has enabled me to find many articles on particular aircraft/countries.

Thank you! I'll follow your advice and will look in ebay.

"The Index" is still around and updated. The problem is - the moment I would release an electronic copy - it would go viral and everybody would have it without any return for the effort put into it over the years. So if anybody has topics there are looking for - ask.

Dear Patrick,

Of course I understand your concerns about an electronic issue of "The Index". Could you please let us know the publications indexed and more details about how to purchase it?

Thank you

Carlos
