'Air Display International'
[Ian Allan Ltd, ISSN 08951-0613]
First issue dated March-May 1987. Initially called 'Air Display' but added 'International' to the title for Issue 5 March-May 1988. Launched as the Ian Allan group's response to the increasing popularity of rival UK magazines 'Flypast' and 'Aeroplane Monthly', which devoted considerable page space to air shows and aircraft preservation.
A glossy A4 size magazine dedicated to air shows, aircraft museums and the vintage aircraft scene. About 38 pages in each issue, with many large b+w/colour photos. Several short articles in each issue, plus listings of UK and overseas air events. Increased frequency of publication to bi-monthly in mid 1991. Amalgamated into 'Aircraft Illustrated' during late 1995. Edited by Peter R March.

'Air Extra'
[Ian Allan Ltd, ISSN 0307-7411]
First issue published in mid 1973 to replace 'Aircraft Illustrated Extra' (see below). Similar in style and layout to the monthly 'Aircraft Illustrated' but concentrated on a single theme in each issue (eg: aircraft photography, the Space Shuttle, Fleet Air Arm history). The most noticeable changes from it's predecessor were the adoption of A4 page size, (at least 2 years before 'Aircraft Illustrated' increased its page size to A4), and the significantly increased pictorial content. Each issue comprised 40 pages, with one or more b+w photos on almost every page and two pages of colour photos. The last issue was No.57, published in 1986.
