Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Even before the first operational flight of the legendary Lockheed U-2 spy plane, aircraft design genius Kelly Johnson began work with his team at the company's "Skunk Works" plant on the type's replacement. The result was the SR-71. First deployed on March 9, 1968, this tri-sonic 'hotrod' flew its first operational sortie over North Vietnam just 12 days later. Thereafter, the SR-71 roamed freely over areas previously denied to the vulnerable U-2, capturing photographic, radar, and electronic intelligence.

Customer Reviews

Lockheed SR-71 Operations in the Far East
As a retired USAF pilot, I enjoyed the book. Gives an excellent presentation of operational missions in the aircraft. A view that few people can experience. A good read. I wasn't aware of the high speeds and the length of same that were maintained. Quite a revelation of the capability of this unique aircraft. Envy those that got to fly it.
