Air Research aviation books
14 years ago the first Air Research book was launched. This book was Intruders over Britain, a title shortly to re-printed in its fourth impression. Since that time we have remained a family run business and maintained our commitment to provide the historian and enthusiast with material that may not otherwise have seen the light of day.

Read Stone & Stone's review of The Fighter Command War Diaries
John Foreman is one of our most prolific authors and an important member of the production team. While he is working on his new series, 'The Fighter Command War Diaries' we have re-printed his 1994 work, 1944 - Over The Beaches'. Originally published to commemorate D-Day, this chronology of the air war in June 1944 rapidly sold out and has remained out of print until now.
Many readers of John's books, 1941 The Turning Point parts 1 and 2 have asked when part 3 will be published. They have been surprised to discover that originally the books set out to illustrate the turning point in the air war from the Luftwaffe offensive to RAF Offensive in the first six months of 1941, and there never was going to be a part 3. Now, however, John has been persuaded to carry on and there will be a part 3 - one day!John Foreman's books:
