Wow, I think I actually *own* that book.

I'll dig around on my bookshelves tonight.

I know I have at least a couple of paper airplane books around and I'm
pretty sure that's one.

I used to have a couple of really cool make-a-kite books as well, but I
haven't been able to find those since about the last fourth or fifth or
sixth or so time I've had to move in the last few years...
