Critic reviews

Young military enthusiasts will find these five colorful volumes both informative and attractive. In short, simple prose the author details the missions, jobs, weapons, and uniforms of the five branches of the U.S. armed forces. Readers learn about the M4 rifle that shoots up to 950 bullets per minute, the Air Force F-22 fighter plane, the M-ATV that can drive Marines through mud and water, icebreakers used by the Coast Guard to keep waterways navigable, and the F/A-18s that fly off of Navy carriers. All titles feature information on age, citizenship, and training requirements as well as the different types of jobs airmen, soldiers, sailors, and marines do. Bright photographs enhance the text with the diversity of each branch’s members, weapons, and work locations. VERDICT These perennial favorite subjects will be welcomed by youngsters with an interest in the military and should be considered by public and school libraries. (Margaret Nunes, formerly at Gwinnett County Public Library, GA)
