Book Description
The most in-depth Stealth fighter
book ever follows the development, operation, technology, testing,
and history of the F-117 Nighthawk.
A special section details F-117 combat operations in Panama and the
Gulf War, and appendices detail individual aircraft by serial number,
pilot bandit numbers, check-out dates, unit histories, significant
dates and events, cockpit schematics, and all squadron commanders.
Author Paul Crickmore gathered the information for the book from the
Lockheed F-117 program manager, the F-117 Squadron Commander, and
from talking with many, many pilots. These contacts coupled with recently
declassified information on the Stealth program make this the most
insightful book ever published on the subject.
About the Author(s)
Paul
Crickmore - During his time as an air traffic controller
at the London Air Traffic Control Centre, Paul Crickmore gained a
unique introduction into SR-71 operations from RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk.
Teaming up with Osprey produced the first detailed book ever to be
published on the subject. When additional information became available
to him in 1990 following the initial shut down of SR-71 operations,
Crickmore produced an even more detailed book, Lockheed SR-71 The
Secret Missions Exposed - the standard reference work on the subject.
The work was acclaimed by both the aviation press, Ben Rich (late
president of the Skunk Works) and the crews that flew the SR-71.
Crickmore wrote this first detailed book about the '117 written in
partnership with his wife Alison.
