I obtained a wealth of airmanship knowledge in the Fifties and Sixties from US Navy "Approach" magazine and "The MAC Flyer". If Australian flight safety magazines are typical, there has been a depressing dumbing down of really valuable flight safety articles over the years (at least that is my perception) as the material is replaced by glossy promotion pictures, quizzes, lots of surreal photos of aircraft in a sunset, advertisements on how to be a pilot and general crap. One third of the magazines are huge photos that take half or all of a page.
