Skywarriors (?) magazine

[tempestfan]

A loooong time ago, in 1991 or 2, I noticed a new magazine, the name of which I think was Skywarriors, but I'm not at all sure. It must have been some sort of successor to Air Forces International, as the team of contributors (including the "Maltese connection") was similar. After two or three issues, it was not stocked anymore my the press shop, and no-one there could tell if just was dropped or had stopped being published. Editor may have been Mike Verier, at least he had a column called Snakepit.

Does anyone remember this title, and know for how long it was published ?

Thanks Nimrod, I googled for Skywarrior magazine but came out empty-handed. So it seems there were only two regulars and the launch issue.

(It doesn't add much, if anything, to the link in Nimrod's post, but as it leads you into a rather extensive list of magazines)

I remember this magazine very well, it followed on from previous magazines wirh same format, they were Modelaid International, Air Forces International, then came Skywarrior magazine this published 3 issues then publication ceased, the editor was Tim Laming. I am not sure but I believe there was some form of disagreement between editor and publishers over magazine.

Each magazine had scale drawings by RJ Carruna,. some of early issues had printed cockpits to be made up.

For the time they were not a bad magazine.

I have the complete set of all 3 Named magazines from start to finish, and am at present creating a full index of the contents.

Total count of magazines for all 3 together was 66 magazines, you do come across them at some model shows but are getting difficult to find now.
