Loading... B-2 Stealth Bombers (Military Vehicles) (edition 2013)by Denny Von Finn KimJD | Apr 8, 2013 |   Students looking for all things military will enjoy this series. Similar in scope to the "U.S. Military" series (see review of Army Night Stalkers), this series focuses on the various means of transportation that the military uses. Each 2-page spread includes dramatic photographs with 2 or 3 sentences of text. Labels are used where necessary, and while photographs are not captioned, dialog boxes called "Stealth Bomber Fact" are interspersed every few pages. A chart gives the specs of the B-2 Stealth Bomber. Photographs reflect no cultural diversity... each of the soldiers pictured is a young white male. Pages 8 and 9 announce a little too cheerfully, "The pilots spot the enemy base. They drop bombs and turn for home. It is another successful mission!" with a picture of a huge explosion accompanying the text. (  ) KimJD | Apr 8, 2013 | |
