Joint Service Recognition Journal

Sadly the UK JSRJ (aka UK DRJ) is no more ... the final publication was in 2009.

For those that need a gentle reminder ... here is the Front Cover of the 'Christmas' Dec 1974 Issue.

Full of material to help you know your Fishbed from your Flanker and your Fagot from your Fencer ... not forgetting helping you know your Badger from your Bison

Not just aircraft though ... Soviet Naval Ships and Submarines ... along with all-sorts of Ground Based weaponry.

Then I came across this on Wikipedia ... I hadn't appreciated just how long this publication had been going

So I thought other Members might be interested ...

Aircraft Recognition (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The above article mainly covers the operational use of the journal during WWII ... It would be interesting to hear how it was used during the 50's, 60's, 70's up until it's demise. I assume AD, GA and MP Crews would have been the main User Community ?
