Greetings from Osprey!
Bring out the cake and blow out the candles because 2018 marks Osprey’s 50th anniversary! Given that we have now
reached this milestone, I’ve been delving into our history to see how things have changed over the years.
hough our irst series, Aircam, is no longer with us, many of our series have been around for decades, including Men-at-
Arms (1971), New Vanguard (originally as Vanguard in 1978) and Elite (1984). hese have been joined by dozens of new
series that have expanded our list, including Weapon (2010), Combat (2013) and X-Planes (2016).
his year, we are adding a brand new name to this venerable list, Air Campaign, which will take a new look at the greatest
air wars in history, from the Battle of Britain to Operation Rolling hunder. You can ind more about this exciting new
addition to our list on page 12.
Since 2003 we have also been publishing General Military books and in the irst half of 2018 we have some very exciting
titles. Morning Star, Midnight Sun (p.2), Jefrey Cox’s much-anticipated sequel to Rising Sun, Falling Skies (2014)
publishes in February, and we are marking another anniversary, the centenary of the end of World War I, with
1918: Winning the War, Losing the War (p.2) which comes out in March.
Our Games division was launched back in 2008, and this area of the company has gone from strength to strength ever since.
One of our strongest game titles has been the multi-award-winning Frostgrave (2015) which gets its ifth supplement,
Frostgrave: he Maze of Malcor (p.26) in May.
It has gone into company lore that in 1974, Men-at-Arms series editor Martin Windrow thought that the series had maybe
one year left in it. hat series now has over 500 books, and the whole Osprey list totals over 3,000. Over the 50 years we
have grown, evolved and taken on new challenges, but what has remained unaltered is our goal of producing high-quality,
informative books for military history enthusiasts.
