The world's oldest aviation journal, Flight International was originally founded in 1909 under the title Flight, but in 1962 was renamed Flight International. The magazine is printed in smaller than A4 format and has about 50 pages in each issue. Most of the content consists of news, but there are also a number of aircraft/analytical articles in each issue, which discuss modern aircraft and aviation. There are also regular features on employment and training with aviation and aerospace vacancies. Flight International covers all spheres of modern aviation in a very detailed and professional way. Cutaway drawings usually appear once a month, while annually there are usually surveys of airlines, air forces and aircraft. Flight International is a truly International magazine; it has divisions in the United States, Asia and the Middle East. Publisher: Reed Business Information

It also features many three-view drawings, tone profiles, tables etc. Each issue has about 34-38 pages. When it first appeared in November 1995 Insignia was published as a quarterly, but from 1999 publishing has become unpredictable and now is unfortunately only published on an ad hoc basis.
