What Fun!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I got this book for my children, however, my husband quickly picked it up and started reading it. There are planes that are easy enough for the children to make and intriguing enough for my oragami expert husband. The pictures are clear and easy to follow. My only complaint is now I have a house full of airplanes with adults and children flying them all around. Great book!
What a completely cool book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a terrific little book. Weinstein starts with the basics--the principles of what makes paper airplanes fly, and the principles of paper-folding that will be utilized throughout the book--and thenproceeds to show in perfect detail how to build nearly three dozen unique paper airplanes. Even the simplest ones are far more impressive than anything you are likely to have created on your own--and they fly a lot farther, too. As for some of the more complex ones--well, it's almost not even fair to call them "paper airplanes," as that doesn't connote the level of intricate detail and genuine beauty in one of Weinstein's finished paper fighter jets. I thought this would be a cool book for my ten-year-old son. I was wrong: it's a cool book for ME, his 40-yer-old father! Which is not to say that my son couldn't follow all the instructions--they are laid out simply, in both text and accurate diagrams. It's just that I'm having too much fun... Highly recommended.
A Winner

Stationery Flight gives good information about the dynamics of flight in general and provides 33 planes sorted by style. The majority are made from a single sheet of paper. My friends and their children found the diagrams helpful in succeeding with paper airplane making. The book shows line drawings of the front, side and top view to help shape the final form. Hours of great fun.
