Airplanes of the Second World War Coloring Book (Dover History Coloring Book)

My Grandson loves this, it has information on all the planes (46) including operational years, technical data as well as colour schemes. Wonderful quality, Worth every single penny.

A gift

Bought for my brothers birthday he loves it, good pictures but also information on each plane, good buy

great book lovely puictures and selection of aicraft. My son enjoys colouring still and used on a long flight.

Gift for a plane made toddler, he was very happy

Brilliant colouring book caught his attention straight away. He can use the colour guide or make up his own. Very good value for money I would definitely buy this again.

My grandson was thrilled with this book and the information of each of the planes but when he coloured them in the colours bled through to the page behind and spoilt that drawing and he was unable to colour it.

This was bought for a 10year old who is really into his planes and trains and he was very pleased with it. Good to find something a little different to the normal colouring books for children and I will certainly be buying more of the same as there looks to be a good choice.

Great quality , great price, great delivery

Muito interessante, embora a wualidafe do papel não seja das melhores.

Great book

You might think it odd that a middle-aged man might buy a coloring book for himself. However, I bought this book due to a fascination with WW2 fighter planes I used to build as a boy. And I didn't want to have to buy and rebuild the models again to capture the nostalgia and fascination I felt as a youth. The models have long since disappeared from my personal belongings, but the idea of a coloring book with the major ones to look at for a very low price, was too hard to resist. The coloring book met my expectations by providing VERY realistic coloring pages of WW2 fighters apparently based on actual planes. If you include two full-color planes on the and rear covers, there are 13 color pictures, as well as about 46 black and white coloring pages of fighters, bombers, and cargo planes from the mid 1930's forward that were used in WWII. The pages are printed on a heavy, high quality paper, and each fighter has a paragraph or so of background information at the bottom of the coloring page. Information isn't consistent for each plane, but usually covers the number of each plane produced, their nationality, when they were used in the war, any conversions they underwent, as well their performance against other planes during their era. There is usually a paragraph indicating the colors used on each part of the airplane. The one-page, text-only preface to the book describes the explosion of aircraft-building in the 1930's and 1940's, and describes a couple key planes used to turn the tide in WW2. I agree with a previous reviewer that to color the planes properly, one needs to understand the anatomy of a plane -- the author assumes you know this, so there is no explanation given. Therefore, I appreciate the site listed by a previous reviewer that describes the parts of the plane. Overall, I love this coloring book, really enjoyed seeing the planes whose model numbers I still remember from my boyhood, and reading about their history. I may even get out the pencil crayons to color and perhaps frame a couple of them -- or -- much to the chagrine of the my wife, start rebuilding my collection of painted model planes all over again :)

Ein Malbuch für Kinder. Hatte allerdings etwas mehr erhofft.
