The Big Book of Flight Paperback – 8 May 2014

Fascinating! I actually bought this for my 9 year old nephew as he is obsessed with planes. I thought whether it would be too advanced or "boring" for him but he was ecstatic and couldnt wait to start reading it.There were parts that were easier to read and things you could make but also tons of info that I found it difficult to give back to him once I'd started looking myself.I would definitely recommend this for anyone!

Anyone with even a passing interest in aircraft and flying (such as myself) should enjoy this book. It is really a compendium of aviation related items - short essays, profiles of aircraft that never made it off the drawing board, full-colour portraits of the world's great aeroplanes, and quirky lists of films, fictional flyers, and even flight-inspired music - and is perfect for casual dipping and browsing. I enjoyed reading it and learned a great deal along the way. A pity that inadequate editing has left a few typos uncorrected. But for that it would have been a five-star rating.

Young or old, this book is for every aviation enthusiast

Bought this for my 10 year old grandson whos plane crazy.. wow.. what a fantastic book!! Even I couldn’t put it down!!

The overall quality of the book was not quite what I was expecting - not the heavyweight and glossy quality of paper I thought it would be. Still pretty good value though.

This is a great book which you can dip in and out of. However, it is hard to put down, fun and informative for all ages. Pages are well laid out and illustrated with some interesting photos/sketches. A great present!

I chose this rating as I have glanced through it and I bought it as a reference book to help me understand flight better,and it is to hand when required.

A great book that reminds me of my love of aviation as a child and still continues with this book by Rowland White.Not only historical but a lot of new information is here. Highly recommended.
