From School Library Journal
Gr 4-7-With their gruesome, but often-requested subjects, these titles should find a ready audience. Air includes the Hindenburg, the 1960 Christmas crash, United Airlines Flight 232, and TWA Flight 800. Maritime covers the Titanic, the Lusitania, the Morro Castle, and the Andrea Doria. The last volume covers Apollo 1, Soviet spaceships Soyuz 1 and 2, Apollo 13, and the Challenger flight. In all three books, wide margins and large font provide comfortable reading. Sidebars contain additional information. Vintage and color photos with informative captions appear on almost every page. Unfamiliar terms are printed in bold face and defined in a glossary. The texts often include personal anecdotes about people involved in the tragedies and information concerning the results of the post-investigations. These accessible books will be popular additions.-Eldon Younce, Harper Elementary School, KS
