When I saw Dover Publishers, I knew this would be a winner. John did not let me down.

You might think that military aircraft are not a good subject for a coloring book, but think again. A military jet might appear all gray, but when you look more closely at it, there are many colors and nuances that will keep a conscientious coloring maven busy for hours.

The pictures are meticulously rendered. If you get this book, look at the Navy Corsair II. John included the safety and the warning decals as well as other associated graphics. You, however, will need a knowledge of colors and markings that different countries use in order to create a totally authentic rendering, because John gives no indication of the associated hues. But the cover and back gives you details about half a dozen or so planes.

I use Crayola and Rose Art pencils and have recently addded some Prangs, Loews and Faber Castels to my pencil inventory. I have tried Prismacolor, but they tend to be too soft for me.

If you are an adult into military subjects and you enjoy meticulous detail, this is a coloring book you will enjoy.

As a homeschooler these books are a must have. I add these Dover coloring books as a supplement to all our history and science lessons. The pictures are very well done and the text at the bottom are a plus to any curriculum used today. You can make as many copies as you like and use them over and over again. You can't beat the price and quality that these coloring books offer.

This book was perfect for my 6 yr old son. He loves aircrafts and I like that the planes were well detailed. Thanks!

My son chose this book. He wanted to spend his allowance on it. He was very excited about it, and has been using it since it arrived.
