About this product

Product Information

The ultimate SR-71 book which profiles the history, development, manufacture, modification, and active service of all 50 models in the SR-71 program. At the height of the Cold War in 1964, President Johnson announced a new aircraft dedicated to strategic reconnaissance. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane flew more than three-and-a-half times the speed of sound--so fast that no other aircraft could catch it. Above 80,000 feet, its pilots had to wear full-pressure flight suits similar to what was used aboard the space shuttle. Developed by the renowned Lockheed Skunk Works, the SR-71 was an awesome aircraft in every respect. It was withdrawn from use in 1998, when it was superseded by satellite technology. Twelve of the thirty-two aircraft were destroyed in accidents, but none were ever lost to enemy action. Throughout its thirty-four-year career, the SR-71 was the world's fastest and highest-flying operational manned aircraft. It set world records for altitude and speed: an absolute altitude record of 85,069 feet and an absolute speed record of 2,193.2 miles per hour. The Complete Book of the SR-71 covers every aspect of the SR-71's development, manufacture, modification, and active service from the insider's perspective of one of its pilots and is lavishly illustrated with more than 400 photos. Former pilot and author Richard Graham also examines each of the fifty planes that came out the SR-71 program (fifteen A-12s; three YF-12s; and thirty-two SR-71s) and tells each plane's history, its unique specifications, and where each currently resides.

  • Substantial volume, great pictures. Comprehensive and fascinating. Strongly Recommended.

    I am half way through, and this book covers a lot and is excellent. If it was about a UK plane, I am fairly sure that a lot of it would still be covered by Official Secrets (actual missions, all of the failures etc etc). It includes pre-SR71 planes and lots of details about the ups & downs of the SR71 development & active service. The technology of the plane that enabled its performance is fascinating (& an insight into what would be required for commercial aviation to exceed Concorde, i.e. a heck of a lot). As always, it is the human elements that are most engaging: the pilot whose plane disintegrates around him at Mach 3.18/78,800ft and, what happens on his next flight is, as a memory, worth the purchase price of the book on its own. This is a very substantial volume and great VFM. ...
