SR4759Armada International - (A magazine)
Back when the world was almost flat electronically speaking I worked for an aircraft countermeasures company. The mail room near my office had the pigeon holes for the executives mail. Members of my engineering group would keep an eye on the VPs mail box for interesting mail. At that time Armada International was a magazine that cost $55 per issue and was only seen by the corporate types. When an issue of this showed up one of the guys would lift it for circulation in our office. After a week or two and everyone getting his turn the mag went back into the VPs mail for completion of its circulation.
This magazine was about 1/4" thick and had a number of articles of news about who was going to show what hardware at a show like the Paris Air Show and what mega contract was in the offing. We got it to slobber at the ads. The mag was full of ads from radar, jet engine, tank gun and artillery manufacturers.
