About Us

The American Aerospace Archive is a new journal exploring the history of aerospace research and development in the United States, with special emphasis on lesser known prototypes and unrealized projects. Based on extensive research in government and corporate archives, the magazine covers aircraft, missiles, helicopters, and other flying machines from the 1920s through the 1950s.  Each issue features numerous unpublished photos, illustrations and drawings, along with an authoritative text based on primary documents.  The American Aerospace Archive is written and edited by Jared A. Zichek, an aviation historian and illustrator with many articles and several books to his credit; details concerning the latter are also featured on this website.

Readers based in the US, UK, or Canada should order the magazine directly through MagCloud.  MagCloud does not yet ship to other countries; in the meantime, international customers may order the magazine through this website by clicking the “add to cart” buttons in the postings on the home page; checkout is through PayPal.  International orders are shipped via USPS First Class Air Mail at the rates shown at the top of the main page.

We endeavor to improve each issue and invite your comments and suggestions.  The American Aerospace Archive accepts no responsibility for unsolicited manuscripts, photos, art or other materials. Submissions are considered on an invitational basis only.
