ALI ANTICHE

An exclusive magazine for members, it reports the activities of the GAVS sections in the field of conservation and restoration, as well as articles on Italian aeronautical culture and history.

Since 1983, the GAVS has published Ali Antiche, the magazine for making the most relevant finds known live, following all the GAVS restorations, illustrating the activities of museums, even the smallest ones or those outside the traditional circuits but also the activities of private enthusiasts and other news that escape the specialized and non-specialized press. Through monographic issues, particular historical episodes or themes of aeronautical technology are also explored.
Ali Antiche, made entirely within the association, is professionally printed and is also open to external collaborations; the editorial part is taken care of by GAVS ROMA.ODV
