On our yet to be award-winning show we look at the 10 worst German aircraft. Ever since the Lilienthal brothers bird-like gliders of the 19th Century, Germany has been batshit crazy about flying machines. Rocket fighters, suicide pulse-jets and airships over three times longer than a 747; seemingly nothing was too crazy for the Germany aviation industry to try in the 20th century. Here is a kladderadatsch of unheimlich German aircraft that will make you spit out your Spätzle with profound fremdschämen.

In the first episode of our new show we ask comedian and historian Al Murray to discuss his favourite aeroplane, the formidable and unlucky Westland Whirlwind. We also decide which aeroplane to delete from history, discuss the strangeness of loving killing machines and what Salma Hayak shares with the Hawker Harrier.
