From the makers of the bestselling Mock the Week: This Year's Book comes this laugh-out-loud funny collection of one-liners for, well, the year after. Jam-packed with near-the-knuckle, quickfire gags, categories include: UNLIKELY THINGS TO READ ON THE BACK OF A BOOK: 'Incredibly moving, the book of the year' Whizzer and Chips BAD THINGS TO HEAR IN HOSPITAL: 'Can you feel that? You can feel my finger? Do you like it? Does it feel good? Sh*t, the doctor's here.' UNLIKELY THINGS TO READ IN A ROMANCE NOVEL: It was love at first sight -- she a beautiful heiress, he a donkey in a hat. UNLIKELY BOARD GAME INSTRUCTIONS: Having taken the cards out of your rectum, shuffle them and give everyone the maximum they will accept. UNLIKELY THINGS TO HEAR ON A PA SYSTEM: 'Could the man who has just been decapitated in Coach 6 please stop pressing the emergency button.'

A celebration of fifty of history's most influential aircraft, their pilots, designers - from the Wright brothers through two world wars and modern stealth technology.

The diagrams and photographs in this volume enable readers to see close up the cramped, cold, exposed turrets in which so many young men fought and died during World War II. Veterans describe what it was like to fly and fight in the many different turret and gun positions.
