Welcome to the third Bugle edition for 2019!
Last month was another good one for A-class article promotions. The article news section provides a round-up of the 11 new A-class articles, as well as 5 featured articles and a featured picture.
Hawkeye7 contributes two entries in our regular book review section, one on flying safety in the US Navy, the other on Australia's war crimes trials from 1945 to 1951. As usual, the section also includes recent reviews of military history books published elsewhere.
Last month saw Gog the Mild's first Good Topic promoted, Gascon campaign of 1345. Well done!
Congratulations also to Chetsford on being awarded their first A-Class Medal. By our count, eight editors have reached this milestone in the last year, and that bodes well for the project's future!
Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)
