Weird Wings celebrates the most unconventional, counter-intuitive and downright eccentric aircraft designs ever conceived.
Spanning more than a century of aviation history, it explores flying wings, lifting bodies, tailsitters, parasite fighters, asymmetric aircraft, VTOL experiments, inflatable aeroplanes and other radical solutions to very real engineering and military problems.
From NASA’s lifting-body programme – including the X-24A, M2-F3 and HL-10 – to Cold War oddities, four-helicopter airship Helistat, wartime desperation projects and modern experimental platforms, this is a story of ambition, risk-taking and the thin line between genius and madness.
The emphasis is on explanation as much as spectacle: why these aircraft looked the way they did, what they were trying to achieve, and what aviation learned from them.

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.
