  • Book Description

    In the early 1970s, a number of US aerospace companies that included Lockheed and Northrop Grumman were experimenting with different aircraft designs that would elude radar and surface-to-air missiles. The development and production of what came to be known as "stealth" aircraft was highly classified by the Pentagon and designated a "black" program, to be carried out in the utmost secrecy. The end result was aircraft designs that were up to 1,000 times less detectable by radar than any existing aircraft, and that would render most defense radar systems in the world obsolete. Featuring Stealth facts and figures, a list of stealth squadrons and US locations where you can see Stealth aircraft, including the F-117, B-2 and the F-22 Raptor.
