I have been reading the Skunk Work books a lot, and
not much mention of Groom Lake or Area 51 is made, it
is just called the test site, but the number of buildings
hauled in and reassembled is surprising.

      The book by Ben Rich and Leo Janus is really
frustrating me with internal inconsistencies with
dates of events.

      Maybe it was a dirty trick fate played on me, allowing
me to invent stealth shapes, either a little before or a
little after Lockheed.

      From what I gather from the books, not stated by
any author, just reading between the lines, it seems
the Lockheed D-21 Drone was the basis for starting
the program that ended up as "Have Blue".

      I don't know how they shifted to all flat surfaces,
but I know I mailed in a patent application before
they did, my art was based on theory and was very
comprehensive from the start, while all they seemed
to know was flat faceted surfaces.

      I have over a thousand pages of patent office
documentation, about 10 times what Lockheed 
needed, they had a lawyer, I needed one.
