An interview with….. Philip Jarrett HonCRAeS on aero magazines and writing history
Philip Jarrett HonCRAeS is Britain’s foremost historian on the early days of aviation and spent his early career working on the production side for some of the most respected aviation titles such as the Aeroplane Monthly, Flight International, and the first days of the Royal Aeronautical Society’s AEROSPACE magazine.
Philip takes us through how his love of aviation was kindled and encouraged by many of the great aviation historians, such as Charles Gibbs-Smith and the charismatic figures he encountered at early Air-Britain and Cross and Cockade meetings, together with visits to the Aviation Bookshop and the Royal Aeronautical Society’s library.
Philip offers a fascinating insight into the people working behind the scenes to produce aviation magazines and paints a vivid picture of life working at the Royal Aeronautical Society during the 1960s.
Philip also sheds light on the ever-evolving world of magazine production from the 1960s to 1990s, explaining how the process of producing aviation magazines evolved over the period. In addition, he provides an insider’s perspective on the production of aviation books, notably his role in bringing together the six published volumes in the Putnam’s History of Aircraft series.
Philip concludes by discussing the trials and tribulations of writing history, including the challenges of deciphering the rapid evolution of aeroplanes before the First World War and how to winkle-out amazing material from libraries and archives across the world. He also gives us the low-down on the controversy over who was the first Briton to fly: A.V. Roe or Samuel Cody.
Philip Jarrett HonCRAeS was interviewed by Tony Pilmer FRAeS as part of the Royal Aeronautical Society/National Aerospace Library’s oral history project ‘If I only didn’t do it that way…….” Capturing history from the horse’s mouth' to inspire today’s aeronautical professionals'. The recording was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.
A transcript of the interview recording is available on the National Aerospace Library catalogue
