Re-experience the wonders of flight with 'Paper Airplanes That Really Fly!', an exciting new series of books with papercraft kits of model airplanes that actually fly!
These totally unique model airplanes are three-dimensional and have wings, stabilisers, struts, wheels and fuselages, as well as authentic colours and markings. With the simplest of tools, you can easily make graceful, gemlike airplanes that look exactly like the originals, and which you can gently let fly on a breeze or launch with a rubber band!
'Pioneers Of Flight' takes us back to those fond days when each new flight was an adventure. From the earliest pioneers to the first monoplanes and multi-engined aircraft, author Andrew Dewar presents the airplanes that took us where we'd never been before.
The book features:
- Text, photographs and illustrations of 10 classic airplanes: Orville and Wilbur Wright's Wright Flyer and Wright Baby, Alberto Santos Dumont's 14-bis, Voisin biplane, Bleriot XI, Antoinette, Deperdussin Monoplane, Curtiss Golden Flyer, Avro Type F and Sikorsky Le Grand.
- 10 complete airplane part kits, featuring specially selected paper for multiple flights (and crashes) and for display.
- Fully illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to make and fly each model airplane.
