In Issue No 2 find out why paper cups were an essential part of the propulsion system on the futuristic Northrop XB-35 flying-wing; how Hermann Goering planned to raid the British Fleet in Scapa Flow using “piggy-back” bombers; and how jet aircraft influenced the design of American cars.

All these stories and many more are illustrated with high-quality archive photographs and bespoke artwork.
