This British aviation pulp magazine features five stories centered on military flying and aircraft. The lead story, "Test Pilots Are Tough" by G.M. Bowman, concerns Bill Bradley, a test pilot and race pilot, who enters a 1000-pound cup race at Hendon aerodrome in a monoplane troubled by wing-shudder. Also featured: Hugh Standish's "The Stolen Fighters," a tale involving the Irish Troubles and a child's toy airplane that saves a squadron leader from court-martial; "Winged Rivals" by Wilfrid Tremellen, about rivalries at a flying school; and "Bristols for Two" by O.P.F. Landers, depicting RFC fighter pilots on the Western Front. The issue includes a continuing personal narrative "Airmen at War" by Lieutenant-Colonel L.A. Strange describing his wartime aerial experiences, alongside technical features on specific aircraft including the Supermarine Spitfire.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
