Book Reviews of Lockheed Blackbird: Beyond the Secret Missions (General Aviation)

Book Review: Great book about a great aircraft!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best aviation books I have read so far. It tells the story of the SR-71 from the beginning as the A-12 all the way to the final flight by NASA in the 1990'tis.

The first part of the book goes into great detail about the development and testing of the A-12, and how this evolved into the SR-71. The book then details the missions flown by both Det 1 at Kadena and Det 4 at Mildenhall. These missions are often described by the pilots and RSO's that flew them, which gives a great "in-the-cockpit" feeling.

All in all I can highly recommend this book, and if you are a Blackbird fan, you should not miss this!
