Love it. Page 160 has an article about an airdrop torpedo testing tank, too.

Contents are on page 2; first article is on 97. That's 95 pages of utterly breathless adverts for things like baby shoe metallizers, horse training courses, "HAMSTERS! The new wonder animals from Syria!", leather carving courses, hypnotism courses, flight schools (boy... what a lot of flight schools), diuretics...

Then there's Victor T. Hoeflich's radio hat on page 119, the model train delivering radon canisters sound a hospital on page 111 and the unputdownable Know Your Hinges on page 187.

Next Month: Will Atomic Engines Be Mobile????? Er... no, not really.
