[Eric · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of interesting anecdotes about the Skunk Works, which produced some of the most secret and technologically advanced aircraft in US history.

[Mark Moxley-Knapp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent, in-depth accounting of Skunk Works projects. There are the usual favorites, of course, and lots of detail on them. But also some quite unknown ones. Did you know they designed the Jetstar? The Saturn, a commuter airliner? I didn't.

Many black and white photos, a few color. Details on design, construction, and testing. Histories of use where appropriate. I figured I would like this, but I loved it, and will refer to it often.
