Applying the Right Amount of Pressure June 16, 2007
This paper airplane book (and John M. Collin's other book "Return to the Fold", who he co-authored with Don Garwood and Thay Yang) is by far the (two) best book(s) that teaches how to fold paper airplanes. The graphics and text are clear and easily comprehended. What's more, you don't need scissors, glue or even the ready-made, glitzy, instruction sheets included in other books. Indeed, as you advance through the book, the folds become more and more difficult and require some practice, but once you learn the proper way of holding your fingers and applying the right amount of pressure, the folds naturally fall into place. It's like magic. After that the process becomes intuitive. And the planes ACTUALLY fly!...They do!

I bought this book because I have a few others by Thay Yang (didn't know the other authors until this book).
This book has just over 40 airplane designs, starting from simple ones that anybody can fold leading up to fairly complex planes that require some practice or origami knowledge. This book is well worth finding a copy of since it covers ALL skill levels of folding. There is a wide variety of techniques used in this book, so it is great for learning new methods to design your own airplanes.

Folded fighter planes that actually fly? I guess that is any kid's dream. Well, I guess you can still say that I am still a kid, (I'm only 14) but and I love the many planes that can be folded from this book. With many precise illustrations and detailed folding instructions, making a full squadron of planes reminicent of F-4 Phantoms and F-106 Delta Darts is at your control. Truly a great book for any paper pilot.
