Autor David Bakeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2027
During the Cold War, these black projects would produce radical, highly classified spy planes and stealth prototypes funded via hidden budgets, most notably the Lockheed U-2, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, and the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk.
In this fascinating look behind the curtain, expert author David Baker uncovers the conspiracies, covert operations and the successes and failures of these once-classified Cold War aviation experiments.
