| Summary: | "This is not a story of the making of the SR-71, nor is it a technical digest of the many intriguing facts and figures about the plane. Instead, this book is one man's view of what it was like to fly the world's fastest jet. .... This is a love story too, because I could not fly this plane and not love it. I have purposely avoided certain specifics throughout the text, because they are not the focus of this story. The reader won't find secrets revealed in this book." -- Introduction. |
