Yes,this topic was discussed at length 6-7 years ago here and ‘alertken’ (‘tornadoken’?) contributed greatly but I can’t get the site search engine to find it (has everything before 2015 been chucked?) .
At one point the Google Books project was doing deals with American magazine publishers and putting their historical content online, most famously the defunct Life Magazine and it’s largely unpublished photo archive but also Flying Magazine* (aka Popular Aviation). I wonder what Google Books paid for the rights? (*Still published but under different ownership…perhaps the historical content was sold separately?)
I think the Flight Global Archive online is excellent but live in dread of it being withdrawn….
What known complete ‘public’ sets of The Aeroplane (weekly) are there? National Aerospace Library (Farnborough), RAF Museum Hendon, Royal Aero Club , Air Britain, Brooklands ?…any in the provinces or Scotland ,Wales and Ireland? Any overseas…Smithsonian? Is there a complete index anywhere ?(never seen one online)
All credit to the two Facebook administrators who spotted it [and to the two musicians who invented Kodachrome! ]….incredible that stuff is still surfacing after 75 years
By coincidence a Hudson (no turret) flashes through at about 5.30 this 1940 colour film of NSW Road crews and vehicles being shipped to Darwin to build strategic roads….also a nice Miles type at ca.5.13 and best of all 3 Empire flying boats at Darwin from about 7.15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieX9UvzVORQ&t=0s&index=30&list=PL1380E9A415E76681 (Spotted via Darwin History and ”Short C-Class Empire Flying Boats-an appreciation” Facebook page and Wings of Peace Yahoo Group)…new thread opened for the Empires/Horseshoe route
