Planes aren't the only flying machines!  Blimps, balloons, gliders and space ships have all taken to the sky.  You can make your own version of these flying machines using the instructions in INCREDIBLE PAPER FLYING MACHINES by Norman Schmidt.  While you're looking at the plans, you can also read about the history of famous flying machines such as Leonardo Da Vinci’s ornithopter, which never made it past the planning stage, the Goodyear Blimp and the Space Shuttle.  (Melissa Henderson, mhenders@eapl.org, Ela Area Public Library, Lake Zurich, IL)
SUBJECTS:     Paper airplanes.
