About this book
Tasked with performing highly classified recce missions, Lockheed's SR-71 is undoubtedly the most impressive military jet ever built.

Also detailed are the flights from Beale AFB in California and RAF Mildenhall in England, as the SR-71 monitored Soviet nuclear submarines in the Arctic Circle and the Baltic. The SR-71 story features contributions from 70 crewmembers and six generals who discuss their experiences and judgements of the Blackbird project.
