If you love the B-17 as much as my grandson and I do you must have this DVD. We sat down and watched it right after it came in.  It is well done and we enjoyed it very much.  If you enjoy the History Channel you will enjoy this DVD.

My Grandson is a big fan of Disney's Planes so, this helicopter became a favorite overnight!  Well built for years of use.

This book put me in my father's B-17 cockpit. I have even a greater respect for the amazing brave airman, both sides. This is a wonderful book.

My grandsons loved the plane.  It was better then I thought it would be.  My whole family loved it too.

Well written story. I always was fascinated with the B-58. it's a shame that it didn't stay in the Air Force very long.

I gave this airplane to my grandson on his 1 year old birthday.  He LOVES Mickey Mouse Playhouse on TV and in fact his first word was "Mickey".  He hasn' said much else that makes sense, but that one comes thru:)  We purchased the ride on plane for that reason.  He loves the plane.  I was concerned with the speed that the propeller goes around, that he might get hurt in some way, but he seems to be able to handle it okay and it does stop if he puts his hand in there.  I have a 2 year old grandson as well -- and he loves it too.

My grandson adores Spiderman so I was glad to get this for him.  He absolutely loves it.  He "flies" it all over the house and loves the plane with or without Spidey in it.  He also loves to play with the Spiderman figure in and out of the plane.  I haven't experienced the wings coming off as one other reviewer noted, but am watching for it.

I do recommend this toy.

I bought the audiobook of Indestructable for my grandfather (whose eyesight is going). He was once a pilot and loves history. My grandmother made a point of telling me how much he is enjoying it, laughing at the main character ("He's quite a character!") all the way through, and learning about what kind of a leader MacArthur was. I am going to have to get a copy for myself, too!

Our son has always been interested planes, but the movie "Red Tails" kicked off his interest in WWII, the Tuskegee Airmen, and the legendary P-51 Mustang (ironically, he is actually reading the specifications of the Mustang vs. the Thunderbolt as I type this review).  The plane is die-cast metal, and so can withstand the the play of a 9-year-old, and we have already had several dogfights (why do I always get stuck being the Luftwaffe ME-109) high over the carpet in our living room.  Definitely a wonderful gift for our little pilot/historian.

My grandsons (5 and 3) are really into it. The older one follows the directions, and the younger improvises. Their father has asked for the Auto and Aircraft add-on kits for Xmas.

We had already purchased Skipper as part of a collection of Mattel's 1:55 scale diecast characters from the original "Planes" movie last Christmas for our (then 5, now 6 year old) grandson, and this one appears to be the exact same model (hey, why change a good thing, huh, Skipper?)  Skipper Riley is an old Navy F4U Corsair and former flying ace, who was a recluse until he met Dusty Crophopper and became his mentor.  He's based on the real-life WWII VF-17 squadron known as "The Jolly Rangers", and in the movie, he was the instructor of the elite Jolly WRENCHES fighter jets (very clever!)  He's a handsome shade of blue with white, sporting the Jolly Wrenches insignia and the number "7", along with "VF-17" on the rear of his fuselage, and we're excited about seeing his reappearance when we all go to see the movie on July 18th!  (They were just putting up the Fire & Rescue display at Walmart a couple of days after I wrote this review... they had Skipper for $5.86 - a much better price than Amazon's $8.99 price as of today, and he looks exactly the same as the diecast from the original Planes movie.)

If you're new to these 1:55 scale diecasts and wondering what the actual measurements are, Skipper is @ 3-3/4"L with a wing span of 4-3/4", and stands 1-5/8"H (not including the additional 1/2" his propeller extends.) We knew right away, based on our great experience with our collection of the same scale of Mattel's "Cars 2" diecasts, that we'd want these for "Planes".  Super, super durable - they feel more like a sturdy plastic than metal, but that's what makes them hold up.  We'd purchased some of the larger (1:43 scale) Disney Store models of "Cars 2" as well, with their heavier metal concentration and attractive display cases.  But the cases are where they should've stayed - they just don't hold up to the rigours of play (pieces kept breaking off), especially now that we have a 2 year old grandson in the picture as well, who never met a toy he didn't like to throw!  If WE last as long, Grandpa & I would love to see these guys/gals make it through 3 grandsons (we have our 3rd due around Labor Day) and into the hands of some GREAT grandkids!  Skipper is included in the Propwash Junction 4 pack stemming from the original movie, as well as in The Cornfest is Coming 4-pack, Dusty's Homecoming 6 pack, and an 8 pack (model # CCP61) that comes in a nice gift box, all stemming from the Fire & Rescue sequel.  I'm putting some general info for anyone considering collecting more than one or two of these models in the comments section below, in case you're interested.

My father, Flight sergeant Laurie Hibbard, was in the first contingent of New South Wales police (Australia) released for war service in WWII. He became a rear gunner in a Liberator bomber based at Morotai in Indonesia. As I am now in my seventies and the only B24 in Australia is a partially restored B24 located in a hanger located in Werribee, south of Melbourne. My divorced father went to 'the Great Architect of the Universe' when I was only fourteen and I had very little opportunity to question about 'his aircraft'! Fortunately this book, amongst many other B24 books I have purchased from around the world has provided me with much desired information.
 I sincerely recommend it to B24 aficionados who have a desire for knowledge of the most produced aircraft of the Second World War. I believe you won't be disappointed. Sincerely, Barry Hibbard.

I have an Autistic grandson and when I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said a Boeing plane.  So this was perfect and he loved it!

My grandson loves playing with the airplane.  He is only three.  He also loves playing with the drill by itself.  Surprisingly the original batteries are still good.

My only concern is that the switch on the drill is already sticking after only a few weeks.  It still works but I have some concerns about it.
