The Doomsday Machines is a chillingly fascinating bookazine exploring the most terrifying instruments of total destruction ever conceived – and the logic that built them.
From Cold War ICBMs like the Titan II and R-36 to world-ending bombs like the Tsar Bomba, from airborne command centres like the “Doomsday Plane” to the Soviet Union’s still-shadowy “Dead Hand” retaliation system, this is the story of how hypersonic bitzkrieg and nuclear annihilation came to haunt our imagination.
Combining stark imagery, declassified diagrams, lucid technical explanation and strategic context, this title reveals the madness and method behind mankind’s most devastating creations.
It will delve into both East and West, legacy and modern systems, and the enduring relevance of these weapons in today’s increasingly unstable world.

Why Buy Direct
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.
Aaron B
Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue
David L
Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft

Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
