The book covers the basic capabilities and most common uses for the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters. It only has 4 chapters, but it still manages to be informative for the young intended audience. The pictures, for the most part, are well connected with the text. For researchers, the index, glossary, additional resources, and websites should be useful. This is an appropriate addition to libraries looking to complete their military collections for young readers.
