Description

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird: A Legendary Mach 3 Spy Plane. This comprehensive history covers all fifty Blackbirds built by Lockheed's renowned "Skunk Works." From its first flight in 1962 to the last in 1999, this book delves into the aircraft's development, from initial design studies to production and testing. The SR-71 was designed as a replacement for the U-2 spyplane, with Lockheed achieving an impressive thirty-two-month turnaround from contract signing to first flight. The book features over 700 color and black-and-white images, showcasing the aircraft's design, systems, and subsystems. Author Jim Goodall brings his expertise in military aviation to this project, drawing on a wealth of knowledge gained from writing over two dozen books and articles on related subjects.
