To fight crime in Gotham, Batman must take to the skies. Luckily, his aircraft are jam packed with stealth technology, missiles, and so much more. But Batman is a fictional superhero none of his gear is real, right Think again! Look inside to explore how the amazing features in the Batplane and Batcopter are actually rooted in real world science and engineering.
I can just imagine how popular these books will be, particularly with boys. I really liked the way the book compared Batman technology with real-life facts and photos. . . .I will be purchasing the series for our library!-- "Reading Power Gear blog"
