Fighter Jets: defending the skies - Children's Literature

Fighter jets are indeed “Vehicles on the Move,” the series for which this book is a part. Who, what, when, where and why are all covered here as young readers learn what fighter jets are and the role they play in the armed forces. Readers fascinated by airplanes will love the chapters on the parts of the fighter jet and pilot gear, particularly the well-chosen photos used to illustrate both. Ten different fighter jets are profiled, including stealth aircraft, the F-22 Raptor and the F-15 Eagle.
