Over The Front

At the heart of the League’s mission is Over the Front, a quarterly journal recognized worldwide for its depth, accuracy, and exceptional scholarship. Each 96-page issue is crafted with care to deliver lasting value to readers and researchers across the globe.

The journal offers a rich spectrum of content, including:

• Firsthand accounts from WWI aviators, observers, and ground personnel—voices preserved for descendants and historians alike.
• Squadron histories that trace the structure, operations, and legacies of air units from every combatant nation.
• Analytical studies examining the strategic, tactical, and human dimensions of early aerial warfare.
• Technical research on aircraft design, engines, weaponry, and other innovations that defined the era.
• Color and markings references that help modelers and historians capture the authentic look of WWI aircraft.
• Book reviews highlighting significant works of scholarship, memoir, and research in WWI aviation.

More than a journal, Over the Front is an immersive journey into the pioneering days of air combat—a resource that continues to inspire, inform, and preserve history.

The journal is typically mailed on the first day of the month—May for the Spring issue; August for the Summer issue; November for the Fall issue; and February of the following year for the Winter issue.
