Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This in-depth and unprecedented examination of the development of Lockheed's stealth program explains how Skunkworks designers and engineers minimize and even eliminate radar, thermal, and acoustic signatures in the U-2 spyplane, SR-71, F-117 Nighthawk, F-22 Raptor, and Lockheed's X-35 Joint Strike Fighter contender. Illustrated with photos from the company's archives and private collections, the story begins with the origins of the stealth program in 1974 and continues through the current service and battle records of the F-117 Nighthawk and F-22 Raptor, as well as the design and testing of X-35 prototypes vying with Boeing's X-32 for the Pentagon's Joint Strike Fighter contract. Respected aviation author Bill Sweetman discusses in layperson's terms the technologies and design elements that allow these incredible aircraft to evade detection.

5 out of 5 stars This is a great book on the background of stealth airplanes   June 11, 2006

For those who are interested in stealth airplanes I think this is a great little book. Lots of great pictures and a good brief history of the development of stealth airplanes at Lockheed. Its not really about any one airplane so if you wanted something specifc, you would probably be better off trying to buy an old copy of World Airpower Journal with an article written by Sweetman on one of the airplanes. If you wanted alot of info on the 117 or B-2, the book Black Jets is very good. And if you wanted more detail about the Skunk Works, check out the book by Ben Rich. Thats a fun read as well.

An excellent up-to-date history of Lockheed's (and others) contributions to the art and science of stealth airplanes, including both the F-22 and F-35. This book complements Ben Rich's "Skunk Works."
