4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but for the right people, August 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Classic Paper Planes: 10 Classic Airplanes to Build and Fly (Paperback)

The book "Classic Paper Planes: 10 Classic Airplannes to Build and Fly" is a mixed bag. The historical commentary and descriptions of the plane's role in history are done very well. The Models are also impressive and visually stunning. The only problem is the difficulty in building them. Although they are possible, chances are you will mess one of the planes on your first try. They can be frustrating, and I reccomend them only if you know you are good with your hands. Once completed they are great display pieces.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book of paper models, May 1, 2006

Fokker Dr I
Fokker E V
Siai-Marchetti S55
The Spirit of St. Louis
Schleicher Rhonadler Glider
Fairey Long Range Monoplane
