Book Description This book details the heraldry of the Stealth Fighter beginning 10 years prior to its history-making flights over Baghdad during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. It includes actual photos of many rare F-117A patches produced only for those intimately involved in the F-117A Program. Information dealing with the development of these patches and explaining their symbology are provided. It's also about the people and comaraderie involved. As a bonus, this book contains history and lineage of patches produced during the Lockheed Product Excellence Program's existence for the Engineering and Manufacturing organizations concealed deep within the walls of the highly secretive Skunk Works; over 160 color photographs. Readers review: "If you like the F-117A, Military Patches, or both, then you have to have this book. Having worked on the F-117A program, this book gives a lot of information not found elsewhere. This book is a must for all F-117A enthusiasts. Many of my peers have already bought this book and the Skunk Works' company store has sold out. Get it while you can." About the Author(s) Note from Patrick Allen Blazek, the author. : "This book is a tribute to those who worked on the Stealth Fighter. It was a great honor contacting the individuals and doing the research to be able to publish this book. The idea started when my former manager and I were discussing the history behind many of the patches depicted within the book. We were afraid that the history would be lost when many of the individuals, such as himself, who originally worked on the jet retired. The Stealth Fighter was conceived, designed, built, flight tested and placed into an operational Tactical Group (the 4450th)in complete secrecy. All of this remained in the Black World for about ten years before it was revealed. This book is a tribute to those involved who made this all possible. It has been an honor being associated with the flight testing of this jet since 1988. This book will never be a #1 seller at the grocery checkout stand. If you are a fan of the F-117A, the Skunk Works, or just military patches in general, then I think you will find the pictures and information contained within this book fascinating." |
