This is a great book, featuring instructions for three levels of LEGO building expertise. Small and easy to builds, more complex builds and real challenging builds. The easy and medium builds are easy to put together from most LEGOs you may have lying around. My son had a couple of disassembled Star War builds in his LEGO box and I was able to do a couple of the simple and medium builds without a problem.

Being older, I loved the more challenging builds. The SR-71 Blackbird and the P-38 Lightning were my favorite builds. The pages included step by step instructions, where each piece goes and how modules of varying pieces are placed and how to connect to the larger frame work and onward until the completed aircraft creation.

The book includes the list of and number of pieces needed in the appendix, plus where to order what you need (bricklink). Purchase and enjoy the grand adventure of gathering and assembling some of these aircraft on your own.

My students love anything with LEGOs! This book is suitable for students who already have some experience with LEGOs, and I think that they will have a lot of fun with it!

My nieces, nephews and grandchildren each picked a different airplane from this book and spent the weekend building them. It was a great adventure watching them visualize and build the scale model of each of their choices. They are all different ages and skill levels so it was a real test of the instructions and author's dedication to his craft. Everyone enjoyed the book. They've already chosen their next challenges!

Great content in what is a growing niche category.

The level of detail here is immense - comparable (and in some respects) better than genuine Lego instructions - I love that at the end there is a complete inventory of parts needed and lego ordering codes.

As someone with a vast collection of lego pieces accumulated over the years I am looking forward to building some of these models :)
