5.0 out of 5 stars Fab paper airplanes, November 27, 2004

By	Alice of Wonderland (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I did not know how to make even a single paper airplane (not one that would fly, that is) before buying this book. It saved a rainy weekend with a house full of family. The planes last longer if the ground is dry, but the adults, children and dogs all had a blast flying these beutiful, graceful and fast airplanes. You will not believe that "The Hurricane" can can fly until you try it for yourself.

The directions consist of illustrated steps clearly showing each fold. Even though my 4 year-old nephew was still too little to make a plane for himself, he sat riveted. He picked which paper to use (included), looked at each picture, watched me fold and helped crease the paper. Then we ran outside together to show everyone the tricks our planes could do in the sky.

5.0 out of 5 stars The coolest planes you can make!!, July 16, 2006

By	J. Scharp (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for my 6 yr old son who was always asking me to make my one and only paper airplane for him. Than he I taught him how to do it himself. BUT, this book has so many cool planes and they all fly and fly really WELL too!! My son figured out every single airplane from the terrific and easy to follow directions. After he mastered the planes with reg. paper, he made them all with the awesome printed papers in the back of the book, and he saved them all. He is almost 8 now and he still likes to make paper airplanes that he learned from this book, and HE makes them for HIS friends now. Very cool book, very nice and easy instructions, great pictures and plenty of cool papers to fold into planes. If your child is interested at all in paper airplanes this is a great gift idea...heck you too may learn a few tricks!! :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars From a Navy Fighter Pilot, February 23, 2006

By	Charles E. Long (Chesapeake, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book for someone who wants to fold real paper airplanes from a single piece of paper....w/o cut and paste. These paper airplanes really fly well. My Grandkids thought they were tremendous....and you know what...for an old Naval Aviator fighter pilot with over 31 years active service, I love them as well.
