Air Pictorial was a British aviation magazine covering contemporary and historical military and civil aviation topics. The magazine was initially published as \'Air Defence Corps Gazette\' in 1939 and in 1941 was retitled to \'Air Training Corps Gazette: The Journal of the Air Training Corps\'. In 1946, the title was changed again to \'Air Reserve Gazette\'. Each change resulted to the numbering being reset to Vol. 1 No. 1 however in January 1947 the numbering was reset to Vol.9 No.1, reflecting the cumulative volumes from 1939 to ease confusion. In 1951 the title \'Air Pictorial & Air Reserve Gazette\' was adopted, and in April 1958 the \'& Air Reserve Gazette\' part of the title was dropped, becoming Air Pictorial. By 2002, when the magazine was renamed \'Aviation News\' (a title that had been incorporated into it six years previously), Air Pictorial comprised 64 volumes containing 620 issues between them.

Issues of Air Pictorial, as the title suggests, were very well illustrated throughout with photographs, diagrams, cutaway drawings and silhouettes complementing the excellent text therein.
