The legendary SR-71 Blackbird spy plane was, and still is, the
world's only operational Mach 3 aircraft, and was designed, built,
and tested by Lockheed's famed "Skunk Works." This new book covers
all fifty Blackbirds built, from the first flight in 1962, to the
last in 1999. As a replacement for the venerable U-2 spyplane,
Lockheed went from contract signing to first flight in only
thirty-two months starting in April 1958-from the beginning of
design studies to the signing of a contract from the CIA to build
the initial batch of A-12s in February 1960, to first flight in
1962. From the A-1 design through the completion of the very first
Radar Cross Section models of the A-12, to the testing of every
major system and subsystem, this book describes and illustrates the
SR-71 as never before, using images from a variety of sources, as
well as the author's own superb, new photography.
