About this product
Product Information
Rated 5 Stars - It's a fun, enlightening and instructive adventure into our skies! Parachute Action Adventure for Kids: This fully-illustrated children's book exudes realism and insights into parachute background, training for paratroopers and necessities for sky diving as a sport! This educational publication explains and opens up a world of para-jumping action adventure for kids, promising to teach your children and help them understand everything about parachutes, paratroopers and skydivers, assisted by vividly clear illustrations and captivating photographs.This is a perfect ebook for kids to explore and discover the history of parachutes and the link between parachutes, paratroopers and skydiving. It includes explanations of: how the military developed parachuting as a method of deploying ground troops in war zones, dropping men behind enemy lines; how the growth of parachuting and skydiving became recognized as an official sport in 1951; and why competitions began to get international recognition.For instance did you know that parachutes were used as early as the twelfth century in China or that a daring skydiver actually re-created the parachute designed by Leonardo da Vinci and used this to do a parachute jump? The facts, pictures and explanations in the publication will keep your child fascinated and entertained, giving enjoyment and improving knowledge in a fun manner. Skydiving is a fun, enlightening and instructive adventure into our skies! Imagine your heart pounding in your chest while peering out over the edge of a plane 13,000 feet above ground. Suddenly you are opened up to a whole new world with just one jump which launches you into flight where you can do all sorts of fun things. Discover how the sport of skydiving developed at the end of Second World War and how it has become a sport for people who are thrill seekers, wanting to have the ultimate adrenaline rush. You will see why these adventure sports have become increasingly sought after by those seeking stimulating experiences. You will realize what it is like taking on what nature has to offer.You will learn how, as you become more skilled, you will be able to jump with new and best friends, which is the greatest feeling in the world, especially as you make each jump a little more action packed and challenging.These days, skydiving is the fun form of parachuting done from a plane or sometimes a helicopter which takes off from a small airbase known as a drop zone. Skydivers usually exit the aircraft at a height of 13,000 feet (4000 meters) and free-fall for a time before opening their chute to slow their descent to a safe landing speed.If you are a little bit like me, you will be going to bed in the evenings thinking about where and when your next skydive will be, what is in store in the future, and who you'll meet along the way. "I watched him strap on his harness and helmet, climb into the cockpit and, minutes later, a black dot falls off the wing two thousand feet above our field. At almost the same instant, a while streak behind him flowered out into the delicate wavering muslin of a parachute - a few gossamer yards grasping onto air and suspending below them, with invisible threads, a human life, and man who by stitches, cloth, and cord, had made himself a god of the sky for those immortal moments." - Charles LindberghGo ahead and get this Kindle edition by Lionel Paxton.

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
