Absolutely brilliant
Fascinating story about one of the greatest R&D and Innovation center of the 20th century - The Skunk Works.You will know in detail how the U2, SR-71 Blackbird, F-117 Nighthawk planes and the D-21 drone was designed, developed, manufactured, tested and flown across the world.You will also get a peak into the bureaucratic hurdles encountered, the bureaucratic support that came on, the difference of opinions between Airforce and Navy and CIA. The different hierarchy of Strategic Air Command and The Tactical Air Command. You will know what it takes to build great planes crisscrossing through all these obstacles, unavoidable bureaucratic paper work, auditors, reviewers and the congress. A must read for any aviation enthusiast!The great Kelly Johnson would have said - "Ben, God dammit! This is one hell of a book - Good job"

It’s not an original but a copy. Disappointed…

Great Book About A Great Airplane
This is a great, deep-dive book with many insights into the design and development process of one of the most amazing airplanes ever built. Ben Rich uses 'Other Voices' throughout the book bringing in thoughts from others along the way about the role they played. It is entertaining, informative, and a great historical account of the design and development procurement process of the 'Skunk Works'.
