About Osprey Publishing

Osprey was formed in 1968 as a small subsidiary, growing out of a connection to Brooke Bond Tea, whose military aircraft cards inspired artist Dick Ward to propose illustrated aircraft books. Its first book, North American P-51D Mustang in USAAF-USAF Service, was published in 1969, and the first Men-at-Arms title followed in 1971.

Osprey is a London-based publisher specializing in military history and is an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing.
