Greetings All,

My name is Jared Zichek and I've finally joined your wonderful forum.  I've been researching, writing and illustrating articles and books on various esoteric aspects of aviation history for about 8 years now.  Recently I've started a new magazine focused on US aerospace R&D from the 1920's throught the 1950's.  The first issue is about commercial derivatives of the Martin Mars flying boat:




This magazine reproduces a lavish promotional brochure from 1944 of the Martin JRM Mars Transport Airplane, a commercialized version of the world's largest production flying boat. The magazine covers three proposed versions of this luxurious "flying hotel" with 65 stunning color illustrations and photos throughout. A beautiful artifact from a vanished era, this 36 page monograph is printed in brilliant full color on high quality 80 lb semi-gloss paper with saddle-stitched covers. For a full preview of the magazine, please visit MagCloud, the printer and distributor of the American Aerospace Archive. 

Domestic US customers should order the magazine directly through MagCloud; shipping is $1.40 per copy.  MagCloud does not yet ship outside the US (though it will do so in the near future); in the meantime, international customers may order the magazine through my website, aeroarchivepress.com.

We've already published a second issue, which I will profile in the postwar forum.  I will be offline the next few days but will field any questions you may have next week.  I really enjoy this forum and look forward to participating in the discussions ahead!

Best Regards,

Jared Zichek
