The opinions of teachers and parents on education issues can differ significantly. But on one thing they are unanimous: children must be involved in applied art. Fortunately, modern stores are inundated with goods for children's creativity. It can be either a traditional construction set or a paper modeling kit. Such a pastime not only develops people, but can also serve as a good hobby. For example, Luca Iaconi-Stewart has been creating a paper reproduction of a Boeing 777 aircraft at a scale of 1:60 for 5 long years.
It all started with high school and architecture lessons, in which students tried to assemble models of buildings from paper. Young Luca Iaconi-Stewart liked the lesson so much that he decided to create something similar at home. And since every boy in his heart dreams of becoming a pilot, the choice fell on the layout of the Boeing 777. Moreover, the young man approached the modeling of the aircraft very seriously. He found drawings of a real Boeing on the Internet, reduced them in Adobe Illustrator to the desired size and glued them together with amazing painstaking care.
The project has not yet been completed. Luca Iaconi-Stewart promises that he will finish gluing his Boeing by the end of 2014. Although, this period can be delayed, given the number of small details in the design. The author himself is already choosing a new model for further work, since modeling has already become a part of his life. Equally dedicated is the Italian architect Luigi Prina, who has been gluing models of flying ships for many years.

Why the Soviet "stealth aircraft", which appeared in 1936, were not used during the Great Patriotic War
With the development of aviation, due to the constant military-political tension between the major world powers, the idea arose to develop an "invisible" aircraft. He would allow him to have an advantage in the sky, and in the event of a local conflict, without revealing himself, he could easily hit ground and air targets. The pioneer in this area was the Soviet Union, which in 1936 created an experimental aircraft capable of "dissolving" in the sky
5 mysterious cases of aircraft disappearing under the clouds, which have not yet been explained
Modern radar systems tirelessly monitor the movement of aircraft in the sky, it seems, leaving them no chance of mysterious disappearance. However, over the past few decades, there have been situations when aircraft disappeared from radars without a trace. The most amazing thing is that sometimes numerous search operations can not find any traces of the aircraft and its passengers
5 cases of forced landing of aircraft of international airlines on the territory of other states

It has been suggested that the false mining report was fabricated, and that the detained person was the real target. However, this was far from the first landing
Truth and fiction about the "death match" - a football battle between Soviet athletes and fascist anti-aircraft gunners
The Great Patriotic War is remembered for many grandiose battles in which Soviet soldiers defended the independence of their Motherland. But in the history of confrontations between the USSR and Nazi Germany, there is one unique battle that took place not on the battlefield, but on the football field. This is a match between the Ukrainian team "Start" and the German anti-aircraft gunners "Flakelf", later called the "death match". The event took place in August 1942 in occupied Kiev and over time it was overgrown with fictions and legends
Sea, Harbors, Homes: Woodcut Reproduction by Don Gorvett
“With an artistic sense of color, Don Gorvett creates images with elegant and evocative tonal harmonies not usually associated with woodcuts,” says Michael Carver, curator of the Museum of American Art in Ogunquit, Maine. … Don's works almost always depict the sea, ships and houses, but despite the repetition of the subjects, one wants to look at his prints again and again
