This is one in a series entitled "Mighty Machines." This book presents huge photographs of vehicles used at an airport-jumbo jets, cargo loaders, fuel trucks and others. Fascinating facts are presented: Did you know that the tip of the Concorde becomes hotter than boiling water as it speeds along? Each page includes a drawing to present the machine's size relative to people. Also in the series are Big Rig, Fire Truck, Race Car, Tractor and Truck.
