About the Author
Ian Graham
From Booklist
Humans have been trying to fly since Icarus flew too close to the sun, but as Graham points out, Early flying machines failed because they tried to copy the flapping action of a bird’s wings. So begins this brief but effective visual encyclopedia about every flying contraption from stealth planes to space shuttles. Part of the Time Shift series, this features numerous lift-the-flap illustrations, which are put to productive use. For instance, flaps are used to show the damage to the Hindenburg and what the inside of a 1930s seaplane looked like. Aircraft are grouped by their use (e.g., Planes for War); importance (e.g., Trailblazers); and unique capabilities (e.g., Special Planes). Ending with spacecraft, this fascinating title sets its sights on the future even while paralleling mankind’s first attempts at flight. Grades 3-5. --Courtney Jones
