This review is from: Planes, Gliders, Helicopters: and Other Flying Machines (How Things Work) (Paperback)
Bought this for my nephew who was about 10 at the time. He was thrilled with all the information about how aviation works. His parents were happy with it.

This review is from: Planes, Gliders, Helicopters: and Other Flying Machines (How Things Work) (Paperback)
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.
