In September 1977, Jim Thorn launched the first issue of what was then known as the Australian Aviation & Defence Review. Initially an annual, it was a labour of love that became one of the country’s longest-running and most influential magazines. From the collapse of Ansett to the capacity wars and the rise of COVID-19, this magazine has charted the aviation industry’s ups and downs like no other publication.
