School Library Journal
Colorful, well-designed covers will attract youngsters to these titles. The first two paragraphs in each book describe a contrived battle scenario, but after that, the text is a straighforward description of the purpose, design, and abilities of each of the aircraft. For the most part, vocabulary is well chosen. Most of the uncaptioned full-color photos are provided by the U.S Department of Defense. “Fast Fact” boxes provide additional information. Each title contains a specification box that lists primary functions, length, height, weight, wingspan, speed, and range. Back matter follows the sometimes abrupt conclusions. These books might work well as high interest-low level titles, especially for reluctant readers.
