Review: Single largest collection of truly exceptional planes. . . for enthusiasts - This is one of two "must have" paper airplane books that are out there for serious folders. I have collected almost every paper airplane book in or out of print that I could find in the last few years as I discovered that paperflight was a great way to combine two of my hobbies: paragliding and origami. So being the obsessive that I am for these sorts of things, I started rounding up every book on the subject and I discovered that there are really just two books that I couldn't do without: this book and LaFosse's "Planes for Brains." Inside this book you will find all of Mr. Collins' most useful and elegant models with a few exceptions that can be found in his first book, "The Gliding Flight." The "Suzanne" model which was used to set the distance world record referenced in the title of the book is really the most elegant and impressive plane model around. It is simple enough that anyone over 6 or 7 could fold it, but it just goes and goes. Forgoing the tape and using nose or fuselage locks makes for a go-to plane in any situation. Two others not to miss in this book which were included in earlier books of his are the "Starfighter" and the "Boomerang." Both are great, especially the latter. With some practice at both folding and flying, the Boomerang is too much fun. And how Collins ever figured out how to fold this plane is a mystery as its folds are rather non-intuitive, however it is definitely worth learning. There seems to be some dissatisfaction regarding this book in that the models are too complex. They are complex, but they are not the most complex around. They are, however, the most accomplished around. The models in the LaFosse book mentioned above are really beautiful and have their own genius to the folding (they are even more complex), but they do not perform as well as Collins' planes do. If you are looking for a rudimentary paper airplane book, I would recommend the Klutz book as it is simple, but has some useful ideas for kids to explore with. Hope that helps.
Review: Great book to switch kids’ attention from the screen to a print. - This book is great for kids who like making and flying paper airplanes! The steps are easy to follow, and the colorful pictures make it simple to understand. There are lots of cool planes to make—some are easy, and some can do fun tricks in the air. It’s a fun way to learn, too! My 8 year old even tried using different kinds of paper to see which ones fly best. It’s perfect for rainy days, after school, or even in the classroom. I highly recommend it for creative and curious kids!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great plane variety and fun printed paper included
*by M***Y on January 19, 2026*

My husband uses this with grandboys often and we end up with various planes all over the house. Big fun and not an electronic device in sight except when they have to define some of the folds that are not pictures in the “basic folds” section. Consider the age of your users. Our budding engineer 7 year old can only do about 1/3 of the designs to to all the folds on top of folds. And the younger two can do only a few of them but do love to launch Daddy Pa’s completed planes. Also, have a wooden ruler or something to help make the folds flatter and clearly defined. There is fun paper included but save it for when a plane design has been perfected on plain, less special paper!
