Very good in Very good jacket. The format is approximately 10.25 inches by 10.25 inches. 192 pages. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Decorative dust jacket. Illustrations (many in color). Appendices (including Glossary). Index. Paul F. Crickmore is the renowned aviation expert, photographer, and author of numerous books on aircraft such as the Lockheed Blackbirds A-12, SR-71, YF-12A and the M-12, the F-117 Stealth fighter and the McDonnell F-15 Eagle. His chronicling is recognized as the master documenter of the history, legacy and lore of these incredible programs. Paul gained his pilot's license and flew in KC-135 tankers refueling fighter and bomber aircraft. Flying has shown him the full spectrum, supersonic in a RAF Lightning, a four ship with the British Red Arrow team, DAC with F-16s, F-4s low over the Nevada desert, and C-130 transports. Rotor wing experience includes Blackhawks, HH-53s, Wessexs, Gazelles, Wasps, Lynx and Army Chinooks. In October 1981, he was granted a special security clearance to fly in a KC-135Q tanker during the operational refueling of an SR-71 Habu from RAF Mildenhall AB in the UK. This gave him a unique access into a world usually hidden from non-program members. Paul has written many articles and 13 books about military aviation matters Louis Schalk, pilot for the first A-12 flight and Bob Gilliland, pilot of the first SR-71 flight and others writing forwards for his books. Numerous Blackbird designers, builders, flyers and maintainers have contributed to his knowledge base and participated in making his books the acknowledged reference books on these secretive program histories. The most in-depth Stealth fighter book ever follows the development, operation, technology, testing, and history of the F-117 Nighthawk. A special section details F-117 combat operations in Panama and the Gulf War, and appendices detail individual aircraft by serial number, pilot bandit numbers, check-out dates, unit histories, significant dates and events, cockpit schematics, and all squadron commanders. Author Paul Crickmore gathered the information for the book from the Lockheed F-117 program manager, the F-117 Squadron Commander, and from talking with many, many pilots. These contacts coupled with recently declassified information on the Stealth program make this the most insightful book ever published on the subject. The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a retired American single-seat, subsonic twin-engine stealth attack aircraft developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). It was the first operational aircraft to be designed with stealth technology. Work on what would become the F-117 was commenced in the 1970s as a means of countering increasingly sophisticated Soviet surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). During 1976, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued Lockheed with a contract to produce the Have Blue technology demonstrator, the test data from which validated the concept. On 1 November 1978, it was decided to proceed with the F-117 development program. A total of five prototypes would be produced; the first of which performed its maiden flight during 1981 at Groom Lake, Nevada. The first production F-117 was delivered in 1982, and its initial operating capability was achieved in October 1983. All aircraft were initially based at Tonopah Test Range Airport, Nevada. The aircraft's faceted shape (made from two-dimensional flat surfaces) heavily contributes to its relatively low radar cross-section of about 0.0108 sq ft. To minimize its infrared signature, it has a non-circular tail pipe that mixes hot exhaust with cool ambient air and lacks afterburners; it is also restricted to subsonic speeds as breaking the sound barrier would produce an obvious sonic boom that would increase both its acoustic and infrared footprints. While its performance in air combat maneuvering was less than that of most contemporary fighters, it was strictly an attack...
