Military Aircraft Markings 2026

By comparison with Civil Aircraft Markings, with which it shares an annual Spring
publication date, Military Aircraft Markings, is virtually the new kid on the block even
though it has a continuous record of annual publication since the 1970s. Military Aircraft
Markings has built its own loyal following over all those years and it retains its reputation
as the indispensable annual publication for all enthusiasts, historians and students of
military aviation. At the heart of Military Aircraft Markings is the most complete listing of
all the aircraft of the UK Armed Forces; the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, Army and
associated units. For each entry the military serial, aircraft type, unit/operator and usual
base are given. Further listings cover Ireland's military aircraft and historic aircraft in
military markings.

Other sections of Military Aircraft Markings include American military aircraft based in
Europe, overseas military aircraft that may be seen in the UK, unit markings and a unit
serial number/letter de-code. Also included are details of the UK's main military air bases,
a maintenance unitcross reference section and details of RAF Squadron markings. In
addition, the book provides a comprehensive listing of visiting aircraft from overseas air
forces that may be seen during the air display season, together with a new full colour
photo section.

This new 2026 edition of Military Aircraft Markings has been fully revised and updated by
one of Britain's leading authorities on military aviation. This remains the must-have
companion for all those interested in UK military aviation.

Author Biography
Stuart is originally from Stockport, Cheshire, but has lived in a number of cities as his
work has allowed him to move around. A lifelong fan of aviation, he first gained his
interest whilst attending infant school close to Manchester Airport and has retained the
bug ever since. Stuart first bought a copy of "MAM" in 1986 as a teenage 'spotter' and
always looks forward to receiving a copy of the latest edition. To be involved in the
process of producing this book has been a very gratifying for him in the knowledge that
he is hopefully encouraging the next generation of young enthusiasts to get involved, just
like he did back in the 1980s! Stuart has gone full circle, and once again lives in Cheshire
with his wife Sam and their extremely demanding cat, Dexter.
