Some of those prophecies were downright nuts, while others veered eerily close to reality. This collection of vintage articles, with their stunning original art, will spark the imagination of every military buff, retrophile and futurist. And the jacket turns into an amazing poster of fantastic machines, blasters and flying tanks.
