The Germans did better...

Indoor flight by a female pilot in 1938.

And Sikorski had a heli in 1940 (prototype was earlier).

So the magazine was a bit behind current technonogy.

But it's not uncommon for magazines or even SF novels

to feature future tech, that's really current, just not widely known.

It looks like a magazine worth reading. Oh, nostalgia isn't what it once was.... :rofl

Cheers
