Not a photo - a bit of artwork from the cover of "Newnes Practical Mechanics" from April 1942 - The tiny article inside about "Launching Aircraft from Rockets" is just a press release to say that the RAF was experimenting with rockets to get aircraft off the ground quicker - Probably the first public admission of RATOG. - With no illustrations to accompany the article, the cover artist has let his imagination run wild! It's a bit of a strange magazine- because of paper rationing the title has been combined with "The Cyclist" magazine - so halfway through it switches from articles on mechanics to stories of bicycling through rural England!
