This classic history of America's high-stakes quest to dominate the skies is "a gripping technothriller in which the technology is real" (New York Times Book Review).

From the development of the U-2 to the Stealth fighter, Skunk Works is the true story of America's most secret and successful aerospace operation. As recounted by Ben Rich, the operation's brilliant boss for nearly two decades, the chronicle of Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works is a drama of cold war confrontations and Gulf War air combat, of extraordinary feats of engineering and human achievement against fantastic odds.

Here are up-close portraits of the maverick band of scientists and engineers who made the Skunk Works so renowned. Filled with telling personal anecdotes and high adventure, with narratives from the CIA and from Air Force pilots who flew the many classified, risky missions, this book is a riveting portrait of the most spectacular aviation triumphs of the twentieth century. "Thoroughly engrossing." --Los Angeles Times Book Review Forces armées Guerres et conflits Liberté et sécurité Militaire Politique Espionnage Force aérienne Guerre Guerre du Golfe Aviation Guerre du Vietnam Moyen-Orient Force aérienne des États-Unis Guerre froide Japon impérial Aviation History Military History Nonfiction

Running a small business and loving aircraft as a boy, made this book outstanding to me. I've listened to it twice now and will likely review with a pen and paper.

The upshot to it's content is Pete Larkin's accent and flair. His performance seems to match the portrayal of who Mr Rich must've been- humorous and energetic.

Inspring, informing and encouraging

They need to change the narrator for the different perspectives as to not confuse the storyline

Good overall book

This was technology, corporate training and history for dummies, and all walks of life should be able to enjoy this and leave knowing more than when they started. I highly recommend this to men and women, everywhere.

Wow! Well done!

it would be better without the patriotism. the Skunkworks developed WMDs, that were used to kill thousands of civilians, they never once acknowledged that.

nice technical engineering stories
