Welcome to the ninth edition of the Bugle for 2017!
As always, you can find the articles promoted to A-class and featured status last month in our article news section. Four of the five FAs are part of long-running series by MilHist regulars: aircraft in Australian service, Yugoslav naval vessels, German capital ships, and the campaigns of Frederick the Great. Among the new A-Class articles are three by editors who are achieving this milestone for the first time: Kees08, Iazyges, and Finnusertop -- congratulations to all three!
All project members are reminded that elections to determine the project's co-ordinators will take place this month. If you are interested in nominating for a position, please nominate here.
