History
editIn 1963, many contributors from Les Ailes (English: "Wings"; published: 1921–1963) were also published in Air & Cosmos. The founding publisher Eugène Bollard stated that the magazine would cover aviation fans, aviation advocacy, commercial aviation, aeronautic sector, astronautic sector, military aviation, general aviation, and youth interest. The founding editor, Jean-Marie Riche, had been assistant editor at Les Ailes. The first assistant editor, Roland Desbarbieux, had been assistant editor at L'Air et l'Espace (English: "Air and Space"). .[4][5][6]
At the end of the 1980s, Revenu Multimedia of Robert Monteux, bought the magazine.[2]
In 2013, Revenu Multimedia sold the magazine to Discom of Hubert de Caslou.[2]
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the digital head of redaction, Xavier Tytelman is known for his analysis about the conflict. The defence consultant is as such invited to numerous French media channels for his expertise, notably his use of OSINT data. He can be described as pro-Ukrainian as he funded paramilitary equipment for French volunteers of the Ukrainian International Legion with donations made by his YouTube channel.
