As the Retired Northwest Airlines Pilots’ Association (RNPA) transitions into “Red Tails Forever” and their website eventually comes down, the Northwest Airlines History Center is honored to maintain the online archive of their semiannual journal, CONTRAILS.
All issue links below are in PDF format and will open in a separate tab. The NWAHC Archive also holds many issues of the print edition of this journal, and back-issues that the RNPA did not have in digital form will gradually be scanned in and added to the list here. We are looking for copies from the early years of this organization!
Copyrights for these issues are held by the RNPA, and photographic / writing work within by the respective creators.
