Major Howdy Bixby's Album of Forgotten Warbirds

The Dinkel GX Kleinfeurwerkswaffe was created by illustrator and humorist Bruce McCall. It is from the article "Major Howdy Bixby's Album of Forgotten Warbirds" - a parody of old-fashioned military planes, first published in Playboy magazine in the 1970s. This and the rest of the whimsical airplanes in the article can be found here: https://www.deansgarage.com/bixbys-warbirds/

McCall was best known for his art featured on the covers of The New Yorker and The National Lampoon. His art is collected in his book "Zany Afternoons": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zany_Afternoons

That Musee du poisson d'avril reminds me of - tongue in cheek - describing to a young skydiver how tough it was to skydive back when I started during the 1970s.
We had to hire pterodactyls to carry us aloft and you needed a basket full of fish to convince them to climb. The more fish, the higher you could jump from. The secret was in flicking your wrist just the right way to sail the fish ABOVE the beak of the pterodactyl, to convince them to climb a few more yards.
Note: this was long before metres were invented.
Hah!
