Planes on the Move

Transportation and big machines are always a hit, and this book, with its descriptions of planes old and new, and of the very basics of aerodynamics, won't disappoint. Chapter spreads cover such topics as "Orville and Wilbur Get It Right," "How Planes Fly," and "Safety and Stealth." Readers will be especially fascinated by information on "Planes Without Pilots," and their reports will benefit from the details provided on the more environmentally friendly planes currently being developed, as well as the book's "Information Station" statistics. Best of all, each spread provides at least a full-page, clear photograph; in some cases it takes up both pages, with the text superimposed on top.
