Welcome to the world of miniature aviation. It’s entertainment on the fly for the office, backyard, classroom (don’t get caught!), or anywhere there might be a party, featuring 12 Lilliputian-size models that create 69 planes altogether.
From the Skyhawk to the Saber, Phoenix to the B-2 Buzz Bomber, these inimitable flyers are vibrantly colored and gorgeously designed. Fold up the Gargoyle, which excels at loops and dives, and the Concorde 500, modeled after the fastest passenger plane ever built. Includes step-by-step folding instructions and tips on how to send each plane soaring at its full aerodynamic potential.

This book has sixty-nine colorful airplane designs with clear instructions on how to fold each paper plane. I was amazed at the variety of the designs and how detailed and colorful the artwork is. There are planes that look like butterflies, aliens, bombers, and all kinds of interesting things.
There are several different ways to fold the planes as well. There are rotor planes that spin, and diving planes that will swoop up and down, and gliders that will stay up for long periods of time.
The instructions have illustrations that show each step and where to fold along the dotted lines. It's easy to follow and simple to put together. There are also flying tips that tell you how to launch the paper planes, and how to bend the paper to get the best flying results.
This is such a fun book, and I can't wait to try out dozens of these beautiful paper airplanes!

OK, I have to gloat! I won this in a GOODREADS giveaway. Awesome color, sturdy stock paper, very easy but detailed origami-esqe instructions. So much fabulous fun in this not as tiny as it looks book. Get one for everyone on your Christmas list. But, don't wait, get one for yourself now... (insert me humming "TOPGUN" theme music here then shouting, "DANGERZONE".... yes, I'm playing with a few of them now; Cats and kids are ducking for cover!)
