Pilots and Aviation

Children's Literature - Beverly Kobrin

Put intermediate grade girls and boys in the student pilot's seat with Carter M. Ayres' Pilots and Aviation. He outlines flying lessons, the requirements for private pilot and advanced licenses, and opportunities in commercial and military aviation. Use his book to prepare your class, then contact and invite a local flight instructor or private pilot to share first-hand experiences. Suggest he/she bring along navigation maps so children can learn how pilots make their way on the "highways" in the sky.
