(Revised edition, 1999. Cover different from the one shown.) This is a well-regarded historical account of the development of "Black" aircraft programs, primarily the first US jets, the Bell XP-59, the Lockheed U-2; the A-12/SR-71/D-21 family, and the the Have Blue/F-117. It is a good primer for those unfamiliar with such programs, and has enough new details to keep the experienced aviation buff interested. There is a lot in here about Groom Lake and its testing of Black aircraft -- probably the best Area 51 history thus far published. Peebles, who is also the author of "Watch the Skies", a skeptics history of ufology, is dismissive of the alleged "Aurora" and dispatches it in a chapter, raising the ire of the Aurora proponents. -- tm/gc
