I found it hard to put this down. I am a huge fan of their work. It was well put together and very informative.

My career in aerospace started after much of what took place in this book but it is wonderful to be filled in on the history that preceded my term. And it accurately describes the way things ought to be done versus the way they were done during my tenure, which was filled with wasted time, money, and paperwork.

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.

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

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.

Absolutely one the most interesting books that I have ever read. So much history of American aviation.

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

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.

Once you start reading this book be prepared to do a marathon reading. The author will put you in the most secret and protected installations on earth to see first hand the workings of the worlds most intelligent and innovative people that protect us around the clock and preserve our way of life and the freedom that we all share. You will never look at another airplane the same again.

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