Subtitled 'Experience the World Of Aircraft'. Published in 132 weekly parts of 28 pages each, between May 1988 and January 1990. This was a more wide-ranging publication, covering with world of aviation in several sections: Air Combat - military aircraft operations, Civil Operations - airlines & airliners, Accident Investigation - famous air crashes, Flying Colours - photo features, Race for the Skies - technical developments including the evolution of major aircraft types, Aircraft Reference File - brief technical data on several aircraft types grouped by a theme. Included many accounts from the pilot's point of view. Extremely well illustrated and very colourful - featuring large colour photos, colour 3-view drawings and original artwork which was produced specifically for this publication. The coverage of interwar airliners and 1950's military aircraft types was particularly good, although the pre-World War Two era was generally poorly covered - presumably because of the lack of colour illustrations. The same production team later produced World Air Power Journal.
