Description

The North American XB-70 Valkyrie is a unique and fascinating aircraft, with only two constructed. Originally designed as a Mach 3 high-altitude bomber, it was later used as a research aircraft.

The surviving aircraft, Aircraft #1, is now on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. The XB-70 Valkyrie's distinctive design has made it one of the most recognizable aircraft in aviation history. This book offers a detailed look at the aircraft's development, testing, and operational history. With its striking color photographs, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of military aviation. The XB-70 Valkyrie's story is one of innovation and tragedy, highlighting the risks and challenges of pushing the boundaries of flight. This book provides a comprehensive and visually engaging look at this remarkable aircraft.
