"Irresistible . . .  My aviation title of the year." — Rowland White "Stupendously brilliant . . . Completely addictive." — James Holland "The most explosive book about aircraft ever." — Jim Moir, aka Vic Reeves From the terror and exhilaration of First World War dogfighting to the dark arts of modern air combat, here is an enthralling ode to that most brutally exciting of machines: the warplane. The Hush-Kit Book of Warplanes is a beautifully designed, highly illustrated collection of the very best articles from Hush-Kit – the world’s leading alternative aviation online magazine – combined with a heavy punch of new and exclusive pieces. It contains a wealth of brilliant material, from Top 10 lists and historical deep-dives to interviews with legendary fighter pilots and expert analysis of weapons, tactics and technology. This knowledge and impeccable research is balanced throughout with the irreverent attitude, wicked satire and sharp eye for the absurdities of the aeronautical world that have made the magazine so popular with its readers. The book itself is also a stunning object, featuring first-rate photography alongside original, specially commissioned artwork. Inside it you will find: * Interviews with pilots of the F-14 Tomcat, the Mirage, the MiG-25, the English Electric Lightning, the Rafale and the B-52 among others. * Comprehensive surveys including ‘The Ultimate Biplane Fighters', ‘10 Incredible Cancelled Military Aircraft’ and ‘Aviation Myths You Shouldn’t Believe’. * Fascinating insights into obscure and overlooked warplanes. * Unbelievable accounts of the most bizarre moments in aviation history. * And much, much more.

Autorenporträt
Joe Coles maintains an obsession with aeroplanes utterly inappropriate for an adult. He has been writing about aviation for over twenty years; in this time he has been the editor of a best-selling aviation periodical published around the world, and created Hush-Kit, a widely respected and deeply irreverent blog. He’s also done lots of impressive things unrelated to aviation: as a teenager Joe was coached by the poet Ivor Cutler. The Fall’s Mark E. Smith was a fan of his music (Joe is also a singer and songwriter). He is also a veteran copywriter and creative concept developer for a leading gin company, a comedy performer and slightly overweight. He is yet to have a dog but wants one very much.
