Jumbo Jets And Airports is a delightful illustration book by Japanese artist Morinaga Yo, who specializes in drawing children’s educational books. This is actually one of the three transportation/vehicles books by the artist, the other two being Shinkansen and Fire Brigades.
As the title suggests, the book explores the inner workings of Jumbo Jets, the airport and control tower through Japan’s official airlines ANA ( Air Nippon Airlines ), including the crew members that make it all possible; airport technicians, pilots and air stewards.
I’ve taken ANA several times during my travels to/fro Japan and can certainly attest to their excellent service. This charming art book by Morinaga Yo is a great way to learn more about the modern air travel while enjoying the artist’s beautiful watercolor illustrations.
Also, the language used is pretty simple and all Kanji characters come with furigana pronunciations, which is great for learning Japanese !
I highly recommended Morinaga Yo’s other illustrations art books that I’ve reviewed – Tokyo Skytree and Tsukiji Fish Market.
