About the Author:
Rowland White is a British bestselling author of three books about the British Royal Air Force. He works in publishing and currently lives in Cambridge, England.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4–8—This detailed history of flight will delight readers with everything a budding aviation enthusiast needs to dive into this fascinating topic, including poems, essays, fact cards, and even a few flight-based experiments. White discusses flying for pleasure and for the military. While the writing is directed at more sophisticated readers, the brief essays, such as "Dead Heat: The Zeppelin Race," would make for an appropriate read-aloud in classrooms. With lovely artwork, photos (with blueprints), an engrossing narrative, and compelling facts, this volume will undoubtedly find an audience in school libraries. One caveat: as the author provides few direct citations, those looking for research texts might consider other titles, such as DK's Flight: The Complete History. VERDICT A great addition to middle school libraries seeking an engaging overview of the history of aviation.—Sarah Knutson, American Canyon Middle School, CA
