Aviation books are always popular and many books on this subject have been reviewed in these columns over the years.

Filling just as important a place in the aviation literature field are the magazines published by the various societies catering for those interested in this subject.

One such magazine is the Aviation Historical Society of Australia Journal, the May-June, 1969, issue of which is under review, A 20-page roneoed-type publication with illustrations inside the front and back cover, it concentrates, as its title implies, on the Australian (and Pacific) scene and is written by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.

Although it is hard to judge from just one issue it seems to be excellent value for the $5 per annum sub scription rate.

Pacific aviation enthusiasts will be particularly interested to know that this group intend to publish, later this year, a full and complete aircraft register of all the Pacific Islands which will show every aircraft that has appeared on these registers since their inception.

Inquiries regarding membership, etc., should be addressed to the Aviation Historical Society of Aus tralia, PO Box C 262, Clarence Street- Sydney, NSW, 2000.—8 T.
