Children’s Book: Airplanes and Helicopters – Modern Weapons

Description

With its wealth of information and visual clarity, the “Modern Weapons” series will introduce you to contemporary weapon systems-from attack nuclear submarines, to rocket artillery, long-range bombers, attack helicopters, armored combat vehicles, automatic weapons, sniper rifles, and other small arms. Deadly effective and devastating, today’s weapons of war are extremely precise and feature specialized characteristics to meet the needs of any specific situation.

The first book in the series examines similar types of aircraft, helicopters, and other weapon systems, allowing the reader to see at a glance the advantages of one over the other. How fast is the F-15C Eagle compared to the Sukhoi Su-35 or the Eurofighter Typhoon? You’ll find answers to this and many other questions about the various performance metrics of modern weapons.

Vibrant color charts compare data on the systems, such as maximum speed, maximum altitude, rate of climb, effective range, rate of fire, caliber, payload, and more.

Many of these weapon systems have been used in military conflicts, such as the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, and conflicts in the Middle East.
