Well done book, starting with fighters from the earliest days of flight until 'present day' (published 2006), so the Joint Strike Fighter.
Very consistent 6 pages per plane. Quick starter italic paragraph to clue you into the basics of this plane's use/idea. Three drawing-views with simple specs (I wish production count was added here, but that's OK). Some actions pictures and a good amount of text.

I read this entire book in third grade and I really loved it from start to finish. It taught me so much and I really enjoyed learning from this book. I loved airplanes so much so naturally, I LOVED this book. Every day I wanted to read it so bad, and I did for hours a day. This book was really great.
