    Jenny Hayden – 26th August 2018:

    Beautifully illustrated bedtime stories with a feel good factor. Perfectly suited to a more knowledgeable adult passing on their passion to a younger member of the family. Great combination of fact and fiction.

    Julia Carter – 27th August 2018:

    I enjoyed reading this little book about the YAM planes and learnt a lot. The stories are easy to read and the conversations give a sense of how pilots of each plane may have felt about them and their strengths and idiosyncrasies. The information is just enough for a”plane novice” like me and the illustrations are excellent.

    Chris Carter – 28th August 2018:

    These classic planes cry out to be given names and personalities and that’s just what these words and pictures have done. The creators have got it just right and kids will be gently transported into all the exhilaration, ingenuity, variety, human interest and heroism that swirls around these objects from aviation history. At least this big kid was!

    John Duncan – 5th September 2018:

    I wish this book had been available when my children, or grandchildren, had been young. The combination of easy-to-read stories and lively illustrations will get any child interested in aeroplanes in general and the museum exhibits in particular. Adults who don’t know much about aviation should find it an fascinating introduction as well. Well done to the Museum for publishing.
