This great large-format title showcases the military's best aircraft - those capable of acrobatic feats, deploying missiles and speeds of Mach 3! Detailed gatefold photographs transport young readers right into the cockpit (including the ejection seat), and allow them to examine the engines, stabilisers, landing gear, wings, joystick, little black box, and more. Dozens of 'plane facts' discuss the science behind such things as the sonic boom, as well as piloting technique.
