Customer Reviews

Excellent book

I bought this for my 8 year old nephew and he really enjoyed it. He's spent hours studying the different machines. I was very pleased with my purchase.

FLYINGTABULOUS!

Both my husband (40'ish-cough) and son (3.5 yrs) LOVE this book! Whether you're a first timer to flying machines (like me), a professional, or an avid enthusiast you should really enjoy this book. It has great pic's and all sorts of info. Some info is in bits, but if you want the whole tech-layout, I suggest you take a class in aerodynamics.
