Lockheed Blackbird by P Crickmore
Lockheed Blackbird: Beyond the Secret Missions
by Paul F Crickmore
In automotive terms the Blackbird is a veritable hot rod, doubling, almost trebling the altitude and flight envelopes of the best fighters of its day, such as the F-100 Super Sabre and F-101 Voodoo. To achieve such lofty performance most of its systems and materials had to be invented or created from scratch, such as the first-ever large-scale use of titanium (advanced composites didn’t exist yet) or its aluminum-impregnated tires or a brand-new type of fuel.
All of Crickwood’s several Blackbird books have met with high acclaim, not least from the Habus themselves (the nickname for the crews that flew operational sorties and also for the plane itself)—and they should know better than anyone what’s what.
