Fascinating, well-informed, irreverent, and witty articles from the highly respected military aviation Hush-Kit blog, and great slabs of new and exclusive material make up this sequel to the much-loved Volume 1. Explore even more of the thrilling world of warplanes.

This is a lavishly illustrated coffee-table book crammed with well-researched articles, utterly readable histories, listicles, interviews, illuminating diagrams and much more. Beautifully designed, with world-class photography, and bespoke illustrations of history’s most spectacular flying fighting machines. Meet the Popinjay, the worst fighter never to see the Second World War; discover how the weird Vickers Wellesley saved the world; delve into the world’s first (and best) Jungian guide to electronic warfare and countermeasures; and take a deep dive into the many advanced features of the Westland Whirlwind fighter. And experience a whole roaring hangar of other aeronautical madness!

The Hush-Kit Book of Warplanes: Volume 2 is an extremely entertaining, and at times subversive, celebration of military flying.
