Lockheed Sr-71 Blackbird

By Bill Holder

Book Overview

The goal of the Blackbird program from the beginning was to develop a Mach 3 vehicle that could accomplish high-altitude reconnaissance missions. The cold, black, futuristic vehicle accomplished the goal on all counts, and along the way, there was also a diversion to make an offensive weapon out of the sleek vehicle. The complete story is told here, along with a selection of rare photos.
