      Gr 2 Up-Descriptions and uses of various vehicles employed by the armed forces are featured in this attractive eight-volume series. Readers learn that modern aircraft carriers are fueled by nuclear power, a B-52 bomber can hold one hundred missiles and bombs, drones are often used as decoys, and stealth jet fighters can hide from radar. Helicopters are used to move soldiers and supplies, destroyers and cruisers protect aircraft carriers, ballistic missile submarines carry nuclear weapons, and an M1 Abrams tank can go three hundred miles before refueling. The prose is direct and factually sound, with color photographs enhancing the text. These titles are informative, current, and will appeal to young military enthusiasts. VERDICT These volumes provide sufficient introductions to military machines and should be considered where collections need updating.
