Propliner: A must for aviation geeks!

One hundres and seventy two pages of ancient, but no modern, aircraft.It was in January 1979 that Propliner was first published as a journal devoted to piston-engined and turboprop aircraft. The magazine concentrated upon those classic airliners of a bygone age, the magnificent Constellation, Britannia, Stratocruiser, Convairliner, Viscount and Douglas piston types that once dominated the world’s air routes.

Long since relegated to less glamorous work, many of these fine aircraft still fly today, and the magazine rekindled memories of the golden era, whilst spotlighting the activities of contemporary piston and turboprop operators.

Published quarterly, each issue contained over one hundred good quality photographs reproduced in black and white and colour, illustrating articles from all over the world. Produced purely as a hobby by a group of enthusiasts until March 2015, when publication ceased.  Back issues are available (see below).   

The magazine was succeeded by the “Propliner” Annual, the new edition out now.  lt extends to a record-breaking 172 glorious pages.  Two news sections – covering North America and the Rest of the World – can be found among more than 20 major feature articles, and with over 300 colour and black and white photographs this is another pictorial bonanza.

The Propliner archives cannot be found ‘On Line’, Tony Merton Jones, the Editor, very much “old school” but he has accepted that a web site is the only way to gain orders for a superb book. Back copies are also available via the web site.
