Wings: Korea to Vietnam
© 1995 The Discovery Channel
Based on the Discovery Channel's footage, this CD is an encyclopedia of military aircraft and aviation. The rich source of information presents 500 planes, 200 weapons systems, 1000 full-screen photos, and 1 hour of video. Kids will find the history of military aviation from 1945 to 1975, as well as war planes to explore. You can even try your hand at flying these war crafts. Testers found the program generally easy-to-use and informative, but reported that the planes were difficult to land in the flight simulation. The database of aircraft and weapons data can be easily be browsed, or searched by keyword. Overall, this is an excellent resource.
