Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird remains to this day the most sophisticated manned spyplane ever built and operated. It grew from the CIA-funded A-12, which made its maiden flight at the legendary Area 51 on April 26th, 1962. The A-12 was developed into the legendary SR-71 Blackbird, but not before its siblings, the F-12 and M-21 were created. These four very different - yet closely related - aircraft form the Blackbird series. The author has closely researched this extraordinarily advanced family of aircraft and this book includes full details of their design, manufacture and thirty-year service with the American Central Intelligence Agency, Us Air Force Strategic Air Command and NASA.

Well, it may be not so bad for a newbie, but for a real SR-71 fan it is a waste af time and money. But that happens, when a book is a series book-it is just nice to have a book about Blackbird there. There are two or three excelent things-part of A-12 log written by Kelly himself and articles about SR-71( Kelly) and J-58 ( Mr Brown). The rest is low quality-known facts, to many and to big pictures instead of text. Description of pictures glorify the plane instead of giving sharp technical and historic data!! And what really made me angry. There are several the same photos that appear several times in the book!! And what even worse, the descriptions below these photos say that these are different photos,even when they are not. Book not worth its price. Better buy Paul Crickmore book.
