About This Item
A history of the aircraft developed at Groom Lake, America's secret aviation base. From the d.j.: "In 'Area 51 Black Jets', critically acclaimed military and aviation historian Bill Yenne offers the first fully illustrated history of Area 51, the military base in the Nevada desert, and its most famous aircraft projects--including the CIA's Aquatone program, which gave us Lockheed's U-2 and the Oxcart program, which gave birth to the Lockheed A-12 Archangel and ultimately the SR-71 Blackbird.
During its early, top-secret years, the famous F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter flew in the skies over Area 51. So, too, did the strange and still-mysterious Tacit Blue and Bird of Prey. Each project is given its own fascinating chapter illuminating the aircraft's development at this famed location."
