### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Persistant R and D
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2024*

Despite all that Janos and Rich include in this story of the Skunk Works one can’t help but wonder what was left out due to security reasons.  Their story will make the reader stop and wonder where this country would be if it weren’t for people like those who worked so diligently at the Skunk Works. Were it not for the engineers, people on the line and test pilots the R and D that went on to develop the aircraft that causes our chests to swell might never have been designed.  I could rehash Rich’s story, but trust me when I say half the fun is discovering how the entire crew at Skunk Works was able to do what they did despite the government and the squabbles between the the armed forces. Giving only a hint of what’s in store for the reader I will say only:  P 38, U2, Black Bird and Stealth.  All appeared much earlier than you might think.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Top Notch

This book is one of the best books I have ever read on aviation history. You learn so much and holds your attention. I highly recommend this book to read. You will not be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Interesting for newbies in military airplanes
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2023*

This book provides interesting details on several spy planes built by Lockheed from 60-s to mid-90s. IT talks about the organization that built the planes (Skunk Works division of Lockheed), and the challenges that it faced in doing so. Enormous amounts of money the US government spent on developing those planes will open your eyes - the amounts are mentioned in the book, and are simply extraordinary.Because the book is written by a retired director of this organization, it is not impartial - it has a lot of statements where the author takes all the credit himself and blames others when things fail, and many statements glorifying many aspects of the organization as a whole. He also took many pages to give his two cents on every subject where he felt like his onion was not heard enough - along with describing why "actually" some of the contracts have been lost, some failures happened, etc.I knew little about spy airplanes, and learned a lot from this book.
