This time it’s about flying machines – both those that exist and those you wish existed. It’s an unusual method: imagination, playfulness and dreams given equal space in a dictionary of real vehicles. Here rescue helicopters jostle with flying apples, spacecrafts with a flapping worm, and airfreight planes with hovering boxes. Which vehicles really exist and which don’t? It’s colourful, stunning and irresistibly fun and creative. Photo: Private
