Paper Flight

New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston - An Owl Book, 1984. Third American Edition . Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 9" X 10 1/2. 120 Pages. Very minor cover edge wear. Take one piece of paper, fold it following the clear step-by-step instructions and illustrations, and in no time your own model will be gliding and swooping through the air. The whole family will love making these expertly designed paper flyers - whether of famous aircraft such as the Mirage jet or the Tiger Moth, improvised ones like the Wright Brothers plane, experimental models of flying saucers or helicopters, or fighters like the Cirrus 75 or the Hunter. Moving to the world's natural aerobats, there are model birds like the crane, the heron or the eagle, and remarkably lifelike models of a dragonfly, a moth and other insects. An introductory chapter clearly illustrates the techniques required and any tools you may find useful, and the step-by-step diagrams and clear instructions make it a simple process to assemble the aerial delights. You will need a little practice - the first couple of prototypes may end up in the wastepaper bin but the perfect flyers that will soon emerge will be well worth the effort. --- From the back cover.
