Born in 1983, James Jackson grew up fascinated by history and aviation, so it was unsurprising that he would eventually combine both of his hobbies. He graduated in 2004 with a Bachelors Degree in Modern History from the University of East Anglia before returning to higher education in 2013 to take a Masters Degree in History at Lancaster University. Following his studies he began researching historical aviation. His works include articles for historical aviation magazines, a 2018 book on British anti-submarine helicopters in the Project Tech Profiles series for Blue Envoy Press and Teach for the Sky on postwar RAF flying training aircraft for Crécy Publishing in 2021. His research interests are wide and include the design and development of aircraft, helicopters and naval aviation. James lives in the North West of England.
