I worked on R&D for this bomber, but security regulations made it impossible to gather some of the information found in this book.
It is comprehensive and well researched.
It filled in a lot of the gaps for me.
Anyone interested in the newer aircraft technology would enjoy it.

As an old Boeing Engineer, I worked on INS among other items for the 747 in the sixties,and have since followed
all new designs for as well commercial as military aircraft. And am still thrilled to se the developments in designs as well as systems which havetaken place since then.

Bill Sweetman, one of the great aviation writers of our time, has finally shed light on the most mysterious aircraft of our time: The B-2 Spirit. I read Bill Sweetman's original B-2 book, which consisted mainly of conjecture (it was written around 1989), and the new "Inside the Stealth Bomber" is a welcome and timely followup.
For the very first time, a concise history of the B-2's origin and development is presented. Bill also gives a good account of B-2 operations, which is quite relevant now that the aircraft has seen action in Afghanistan and Kosovo.
Another very first is the photographs of the B-2 weapons bay, which had previously been off-limits to photographers. The pictures in this book, like those in all Sweetman books, are quite rare and very gorgeous in their full colour glory.
Of all the books on the B-2 out there, this is the definitive one. It is an excellent aviation reference, and it is also easy and enjoyable to read. Check out "Inside the Stealth Bomber" as soon as possible.

I bought this book on Amazon a week ago, and I find it to be one of the most well writen books on the B-2 and the origins of the stealth program. Paying alot of money for another book about stealth wouldn't be wise, since this book is the best of all of them.
