The Slipstream Monthly (SC-169)

'The Slipstream Monthly' was an aviation trade magazine published in Dayton, Ohio and edited by Fred Franklin Marshall (see MS-53, Fred Marshall Papers). The publication had its start as the 'Slipstream', an internal journal of McCook Army Air Field in Dayton, Ohio, which Marshall edited between 1919 and 1923. It proved very popular as a government publication. In 1923 Marshall left McCook Field to publish 'The Slipstream Monthly' as a commercial magazine. It appeared between January 1924 and June 1928. The publication was then sold to the Simmons-Boardman Publishing Company of New York City. Marshall was employed by Simmons-Boardman as an Assistant Editor. The name of the magazine was changed to 'Airway Age' early in 1929, but it closed down not long after.
