Inhaltsangabe:

The Spirit of St. Louis. The P-51 Mustang. The Fokker Dr.I riplane, once famously painted red by Baron Manfred von Richthofen. These planes are just a few of the milestones of flight-now re-created as replica models by master paper airplane engineers Ken Blackburn and Jeff Lammers, authors of The World Record Paper Airplane Book, Kids' Paper Airplane Book, and Pocket Flyers Paper Airplane Book, together with a soaring 1.6 million copies in print.

Combining the passion for aviation and love for making paper airplanes, the Aviation Legends Paper Airplane Book offers easy-to-make, easy-to-fly, accurate models of 12 historically important planes. There are at least two full-color copies of each plane-one for flying, one for show-plus fold-up stands to display them. The book is like a greatest hits of powered aviation: The Wright Flyer. The 1935 DC-3 Douglas Sleeper Transport, which revolutionized commercial travel. The Rutan/Yeager Voyager, the only aircraft to have flown around the world without refueling. Complete with time lines, history, trivia, stats, and specs, it's the glory of aviation, all ready to make and fly.

12 Models - 30 Planes - 12 Display Stands

Presenting the greatest hits of powered aviation - here are easy-to-make, accurate, and airworthy replicas of 12 historically important planes. There's the Wright Flyer, changing aviation history with a 12-second maiden voyage. The Fokker Dr.I Triplane, famously and perhaps fatally painted bright red by the Red Baron, Manfred Von Richthofen. Plus the Ryan NYP - Spirit of St. Louis, Bell X-1, and Rutan/Yeager Voyager, the only aircraft ever to circle the globe without refueling, setting eight world records and returning to Edwards Air Force Base with a mere 18 gallons of fuel to spare. With 30 planes in all, there are at least two full-colored copies of each model - one for flying, one for show - plus fold-up stands to display them. Each model is meticulously detailed and comes with comprehensive folding instructions, along with tips on how to achieve the best flight. Includes a brief history of aviation, chart of famous aviators, stats, and specs. It's an air and space museum, ready to cut, fold, glue, and fly.
