It was devoted mainly to the activities of wealthy yachtsmen and pilots who could afford to fly purely for pleasure rather than business. Later Yachting was dropped from the title and the magazine became a strictly aviation publication. It expanded its editorial focus to include those of less affluence who were gaining entrance to aviation via the low-powered lightplanes of the day, such as Aeroncas, and Cubs."
