5.0 out of 5 stars Really nifty paper planes, April 3, 2003

This review is from: Exotic Paper Airplanes (Paperback)

As an origami fan, I prefer paper airplane books that rely on folding techniques as opposed to cutting/taping/gluing/paper clipping techniques.

This is a wonderful collection of realistic paper airplanes that really fly.

Clear drawings and instructions make it very easy to duplicate the beautifully crafted designs. A nice companion to the author's book EXQUISITE INTERCEPTORS. A must-have for fans of paper airplanes.
