Skunk Works by Leo Janos & Ben R. Rich Book Summary

This classic history of America's high-stakes quest to dominate the skies is "a gripping technothriller in which the technology is real" (New York Times Book Review).

From the development of the U-2 to the Stealth fighter, Skunk Works is the true story of America's most secret and successful aerospace operation. As recounted by Ben Rich, the operation's brilliant boss for nearly two decades, the chronicle of Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works is a drama of Cold War confrontations and Gulf War air combat, of extraordinary feats of engineering and human achievement against fantastic odds. Here are up-close portraits of the maverick band of scientists and engineers who made the Skunk Works so renowned. Filled with telling personal anecdotes and high adventure, with narratives from the CIA and from Air Force pilots who flew the many classified, risky missions, this book is a riveting portrait of the most spectacular aviation triumphs of the twentieth century.

"Thoroughly engrossing." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

Skunk Works. Excellent day to day history of that magical place called “Skunk Works”. Kelly Johnson was always an interesting individual to people interested in Advanced aviation. Rough around the edges, gruff man who knew his stuff. And Ben Rich, Kelly’s right hand man that made things happen with civility. Enjoyed this book. Thanks.

Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I only wish he sides in 2015 and therefore could add another 20 years of information to this

Outstanding!. A wonderful history of the Lockheed Skunk Works. Lots of great personal stories and anecdotes - and some truly incredible feats of engineering!

Good book. Very interesting

Skunk Works. Great read input the history of supersonic aviation history. The brilliance of the engineers was astounding. They were far ahead of their time. It’s too bad that bureaucratic influence has slowed down the progress.

Phenomenal book. Absolutely incredible account of Skunk Works. Words can not do it justice but Ben Rich has done exactly that. Gripping stories, could not reccomend it enough.

the best aviation book with plenty of stories!. This book was amazing that talked about how the skunk works was ahead of its time with several different perspectives and examples.
