"As a military Pilot, putting my boys to sleep at night is always cherished time because it means I'm home. One night, one of my boys couldn't sleep because he was scared of bad guys. I told him all about the military planes that keep him safe at night. That's how this book began." – Wolf AndersonWe've spent months on this book to get it right. The illustrations have historic significance. Aviators and crew chiefs have a tradition of bringing flying machines to life, and each plane has a personality reflecting that tradition. We played off the shark-toothed warbirds of our past to show each jets quirks and identity. The text is authentic pilot speak; using terms like "aileron roll" and "tanker offload" makes this book special and less cheesy than typical children's airplane books.Dedicated to the children of America's veterans!
