Welcome to Cross & Cockade International!

The purpose of Cross and Cockade International is to provide quality detailed information on, and promote research into, all aspects of aviation up to the end of the First World War. We do this primarily through our quarterly journal available by subscription, and by occasional seminars and informal local meetings. The Society has existed in it's present form since 1970 and in various forms since 1960.

Despite the Covid crisis journal production continues, and the Society will function and develop as planned except for face-to-face contact.

BOOK SHOP

We have a large selection of mainly WW1 aviation-related books for sale, both our own publications and also many second-hand books. Please click on the Shop menu above. But unfortunately not EU residents:

We regret that as of 01-Jul-2021 the only order we can accept, for customers residing in the EU, is for membership of the society

From midnight on 30 June the EU has abolished all the remaining VAT and Customs Duty reliefs applying to sales of goods (books, back issues, calendars etc) to customers residing in an EU member state. It is not economic for us to register for VAT in member states and comply with their VAT laws and so we have decided reluctantly to cease to supply goods by post or download to any member or customer residing in an EU member state. This does not apply to membership subscriptions!

If you live in an EU member state and have visited our website to purchase goods by post or download, please do not proceed any further because we will not be able to fulfil your order.

Air Britain have produced what must be the definitive book on the Bristol F2 "Fighter". Cross and Cockade experts have had a major role in bringing it to publication. Members are allowed a discount on all Air Britain publications, on providing their CCI membership number.

Upcoming Digital Journal

From 2022, a digital pdf version of the Journal will be available. Members can see a sample pdf version of Vol 51/4 in the Members' Area, above.

This will be an alternative to the printed Journal, not a replacement. Subscription cost will be less for Members wanting the digital version only, and the content will be fully searchable online.
