A volunteer aviation archive covering aircraft, people, and flight history.

All Aero is a free web archive focused on the history of flight, from early aircraft and pioneers to unusual, record-setting, and experimental designs. It hosts thousands of articles along with photographs, images, and videos, and invites visitors to contribute personal aviation memories or media for preservation.

Why it stands out

  • Broad scope across “everything that flies,” not just airlines or current aviation news.
  • Large stated archive size, with 22,866+ articles and 42,394 images/videos being restored.
  • Community-preservation focus that welcomes personal memories and private photo collections.
  • Free public access rather than a subscription research database.

Good to know

  • The site says it is still restoring material after a data loss, so some articles, images, or search behavior may be incomplete or in flux.
  • Searchability is explicitly being improved, so finding specific items may require trying alternate names, aircraft types, or categories.
  • Some material may come from personal submissions, so article depth and sourcing can vary.

Under the radar: Use the site’s search tips and category search together; historical aircraft often appear under manufacturer names, variant names, or type designations rather than the name a casual visitor first tries.
