5.0 out of 5 stars Clear instructions, amazing planes, one sheet of paper., 30 Aug 1998
By A Customer
John Collins' instructions are concise and clear, making the plane construction easy. He also includes "flip animation" drawings in the margins to actually demonstrate some of the more intricate folds. I like that all of his planes can be made from standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper. My son and I had a great time with this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars great planes, 21 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is a great book. I made 'The Plane', and asked a friend to stand below my window, and i tossed it out the window, and my friend followed it, running, and the plane flew about 3 blocks down the street! This is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did You Ever Want to Make a Paper Airplane?, 7 Jan 2008
By Katie Osborne (Portland, Oregon and the sunny Caribbean) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Gliding Flight (Paperback)
My nephew is really into making flying rockets out of paper. He's five. Well, I wanted to impress the little devil, not an easy feat as this young man is more proficient on the computer than I'll ever hope to be, so I got this book, decided to learn how to make a couple complicated paper planes.

My plan, learn a couple of these designs, practice them over and over till I could fabricate them blindfolded, do them in my sleep. I wanted to make making these babies as easy as tying shoes.

I skipped the easy stuff, went right to the Trang on page 75. This baby was for me. If I could knock this out, while watching television, you know, as sort of an after thought, well that little booger would really, really be impressed.

First off, let me say, that maybe I should have started slow and worked up, but I didn't. There are seventeen different steps to building this glider and the design assumes that you've at least looked at some that have come before. But after several failed attempts, I got it down. I went through quite a bit of paper, but I mastered this (in between practicing the Trang I was learning how to juggle, a feat my nephew wants to master, but is having trouble with).

So the next time my brother asked me to babysit, I did my juggling bit. My nephew wasn't impressed. But when I built that Trang while watching Wolf Blitzer on CNN, now that impressed him. If you've got kids, or nieces or nephews, this is a good book to have around. Really!
