Review : Grounded

Back to the Drawing Board by Bill Gunston (Airlife, £18.95, ISBN 1
85310 758 1) is a glorious collection of aeronautical flops. Here are
impractical machines often so useless, so ugly, so obviously no good, that it is
a mystery why they were ever built. The most extraordinary examples resemble a
barrel, an unglazed greenhouse, a bumblebee and even a mole with a revolving
nose. Deadpan captions.
