Air Forces Monthly is a military aviation magazine published by Key Publishing, and based in Stamford, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.[1] It was established in 1988.[1] It provides news and analysis on military aviation, technology and related topics.[2]

The Independent claims that "Air Forces Monthly is widely read in the MoD and in the defence industry, both in Britain and in the US."[3]

In 1997, an AFM report that a military aircraft crash at Boscombe Down in September 1994 involved a classified Aurora aircraft prompted denials from the Ministry of Defence and the United States Defense Department.[3][4]

Sister publications include Air International, Air Enthusiast, Airliner World, and FlyPast.
