Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
This book details the heraldry of the Stealth Fighter beginning 10 years prior to its history-making flights over Baghdad during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. It includes actual photos of many rare F-117A patches produced only for those intimately involved in the F-117A Program. Information dealing with the development of these patches and explaining their symbology are provided. It's also about the people and comaraderie involved. As a bonus, this book contains history and lineage of patches produced during the Lockheed Product Excellence Program's existence for the Engineering and Manufacturing organizations concealed deep within the walls of the highly secretive Skunk Works.

Rated by buyers -
As an F-117A enthusiest I recomend this book 110%. Not only does the book have over 170 patches pictured (99% in full color), but it has most of the designers, years, and reasons for the patch design listed. Not only does the book cover F-117A program patches, but older F-117A USAF Patches and Lockheed Skunk Works Patches also. This book has been a valuable resource for me as an enthusiest.
Rated by buyers -
If you like the F-117A, Military Patches, or both, then you have to have this book. Having worked on the F-117A program, this book gives a lot of information not found elsewhere. This book is a must for all F-117A enthusiasts. Many of my peers have already bought this book and the Skunk Works' company store has sold out. Get it while you can.
