Weird Aircraft chronicles the bold experiments and eccentric designs that shaped 20th‑century flight. Tracing a history of prototypes and oddities—from flapping wings and stacked multi‑wing machines to steam‑ and diesel‑driven flyers—the book profiles emblematic examples such as Howard Hughes’s single‑flight Spruce Goose and the Junkers G38’s wing‑edge passenger compartments, along with elegant flying boats, fearsome wartime types, flying wings and automobile hybrids; together these stories show how wildly inventive successes and failures helped push aeronautical ideas forward and influence later civil and military aviation.
An illustrated, pictorial survey and popular technical reference by Peter Henshaw (Weird Aircraft, ISBN 9780785824046), the volume focuses on unusual, experimental and prototype aircraft across the interwar and post‑World War II eras and pairs descriptive text with photographs and technical drawings to create a visually rich resource for history enthusiasts and aviation aficionados.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
