Bottom of front board edge and bottom of spine shows some wear. Interior is faultless. Approaching the target I was apprehensive. Two thoughts crossed my mind. First. would I be able to identify the target? Second, did the Air Force really want me to drop this bomb? These thoughts only lasted several seconds. I had practiced for three years, and I could find and destroy any target within one second of my scheduled time-over-target. All I had to do was play what I called a highly sophisticated video game. As I approached the target area, my adrenaline was up and instincts took over. I found the target on my infrared display and concentrated on tracking the target by slewing the crosshairs over the aim point. I was able to take time to glance outside the cockpit. I waited for the display to tell me I was in range, and I depressed the pickle button. Several seconds later the weapons bay doors snapped open,' and I felt the 2,OOO pound bomb depart the aircraft. The bomb appeared at the bottom of the display just before it hit. At exactly 2:51 A.M. I saw the bomb go through the cross hairs and penetrate the bunker. The explosion came out of the hole the bomb had made and blew out the doors of the bunker. Colonel Greg Feest's recount of delivering one of the first bombs to Iraq during the Gulf War is just one of the many stories about the F-117 Nighthawk. The authors cover the stealth fighter from nose to tail; from its secret origins, flight testing, and development, to its combat operations in Panama and Desert Storm, Firsthand srories, newly declassified information and photos, and extensive appendices listing every detail about the aircraft and its pilots make this the most definitive book on the F-117 ever written. Contents in Six Chapters: Black and blue, Skunk Works Magic, Flight Test, Tonopah Years, The Storm, and Holloman and Palmdale. Appendices: Desert Operations, Bandit List, F-117 Commanders, Program Milestones, Individual Air Craft Histories, Flight Test Summary, and Glossary.

DJ has slight wear and soiling. Decorative dust jacket. Illustrations (many in color). Appendices (including Glossary). Index. Paul F. Crickmore is the renowned aviation expert, photographer, and author of numerous books on aircraft such as the Lockheed Blackbirds A-12, SR-71, YF-12A and the M-12, the F-117 Stealth fighter and the McDonnell F-15 Eagle. His chronicling is recognized as the master documenter of the history, legacy and lore of these incredible programs. Paul gained his pilot's license and flew in KC-135 tankers refueling fighter and bomber aircraft. Flying has shown him the full spectrum, supersonic in a RAF Lightning, a four ship with the British Red Arrow team, DAC with F-16s, F-4s low over the Nevada desert, and C-130 transports. Rotor wing experience includes Blackhawks, HH-53s, Wessexs, Gazelles, Wasps, Lynx and Army Chinooks. In October 1981, he was granted a special security clearance to fly in a KC-135Q tanker during the operational refueling of an SR-71 Habu from RAF Mildenhall AB in the UK. This gave him a unique access into a world usually hidden from non-program members. Paul has written many articles and 13 books about military aviation matters Louis Schalk, pilot for the first A-12 flight and Bob Gilliland, pilot of the first SR-71 flight and others writing forwards for his books. Numerous Blackbird designers, builders, flyers and maintainers have contributed to his knowledge base and participated in making his books the acknowledged reference books on these secretive program histories. 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. The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a retired American single-seat, subsonic twin-engine stealth attack aircraft developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). It was the first operational aircraft to be designed with stealth technology. Work on what would become the F-117 was commenced in the 1970s as a means of countering increasingly sophisticated Soviet surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). During 1976, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued Lockheed with a contract to produce the Have Blue technology demonstrator, the test data from which validated the concept. On 1 November 1978, it was decided to proceed with the F-117 development program. A total of five prototypes would be produced; the first of which performed its maiden flight during 1981 at Groom Lake, Nevada. The first production F-117 was delivered in 1982, and its initial operating capability was achieved in October 1983. All aircraft were initially based at Tonopah Test Range Airport, Nevada. The aircraft's faceted shape (made from two-dimensional flat surfaces) heavily contributes to its relatively low radar cross-section of about 0.0108 sq ft. To minimize its infrared signature, it has a non-circular tail pipe that mixes hot exhaust with cool ambient air and lacks afterburners; it is also restricted to subsonic speeds as breaking the sound barrier would produce an obvious sonic boom that would increase both its acoustic and infrared footprints. While its performance in air combat maneuvering was less than that of most contemporary fighters, it was strictly an attack aircraft despite being commonly referred to as the "Stealth Fighter". For this reason, it is equipped with integrated sophisticated digital navigation and attack systems, targeting being achieved via a thermal imaging infrared system and a laser rangefinder/laser designator. It is aerodynamically unstable in all three aircraft principal axes and thus requires constant flight corrections via a fly-by-wire (FBW) flight system to maintain controlled flight. Even years following its entry to service, the F-117 was a black project, its existence being denied by USAF officials. On 10 November 1988, the F-117 was publicly acknowledged for the first time. Its first combat mission was flown during the United States invasion of Panama in 1989. The last of 59 production F-117s were delivered on 3 July 1990. The F-117 was widely publicized for its role in the Gulf War of 1991, having flown approximately 1,300 sorties and scored direct hits on what the US called 1,600 high-value targets in Iraq. F-117s also participated in the conflict in Yugoslavia, during which one was shot down by a surface-to-air missile (SAM) in 1999. It was also active during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. The USAF retired the F-117 in April 2008, primarily due to the fielding of the F-22 Raptor. Despite the type's official retirement, a portion of the fleet has been kept in airworthy condition, and F-117s have been observed flying since 2009.
