Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Neuware - Where flying too slow means falling. Flying too fast means exploding.In 1955, Lockheed's Skunk Works built - and secretly tested at the remote desert base known as Area 51 - the most fragile, dangerous, and vital aircraft in aviation history: the U-2 Dragon Lady.Designed by engineering genius Kelly Johnson, it was a powered glider stripped of armor, guns, and ejection seats - forced to fly in the lethal 'coffin corner' at 70,000 feet, where a speed error of just six knots meant instant destruction.The Loneliest Man in the World: DRAGON LADY is the definitive true story of the Lockheed U-2 missions that nearly started World War III.Through meticulous documentary discipline and declassified intelligence, author Michael I. Bryce takes you directly inside the cockpit of the Dragon Lady: - The Lethal Coffin Corner: Experience the extreme physical and psychological toll of flying alone at the edge of space in a pressure suit, living on liquid food and pure oxygen for eleven hours at a time.- The 'Sheep-Dipped' Pilots: Discover the secret process by which elite military aviators surrendered their identities to fly covert CIA missions under deep civilian cover.- Myth-Busting Espionage: Uncover how U-2 high-altitude photography exposed the truth behind the 'bomber gap' and the 'missile gap,' providing critical intelligence that prevented nuclear catastrophe.- Historic Missions & Tragedies: Relive the harrowing flights over Leningrad, the deep penetrations to Tyuratam, and the fateful shoot-down of Francis Gary Powers that shocked the world.Written with strict historical discipline - no invented dialogue, no fabricated thoughts, and no narrative speculation - this book honors the aircraft, the visionaries who built her, and the lone pilots who flew to the edge of the world.Perfect for fans of: - Books: Skunk Works (Ben R. Rich), The Spy and the Traitor (Ben Macintyre), Area 51 (Annie Jacobsen), Command and Control (Eric Schlosser), and The Right Stuff (Tom Wolfe) - Movies & Shows: Bridge of Spies, Thirteen Days, The Americans, For All Mankind, and HBO's Chernobyl.Step into the cockpit at 70,000 feet.
