From the publisher:

" 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. "

This book is a little rougher than I usually slang, but it's an awesome story and well written. Remember growing up hearing about $200,000 dollar pentagon toilet seats? What was even the purpose of the stealth bomber? Where are we going?
