Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine

As Edward K. Thompson stated in 1995 ‘The magazine I envisioned would stir curiosity in already receptive minds. It would deal with history as it is relevant to the present. It would represent art, since true art is never dated, in the richest possible reproduction. It would peer into the future via coverage of social progress and of science and technology. Technical matters would be digested and made intelligible by skilled writers who would stimulate readers to reach upward while not turning them off with jargon. We would find the best writers and the best photographers–not unlike the best of the old Life.’
