However, the history of the Skunk Works is more than just spyplanes and stealth aircraft. Steve Pace does a good job chronicling Skunk Works aerospace projects during its 70+ years of its existence, starting with the P-38 Lightning and ending with the latest designs for advanced aircraft from Lockheed Martin, including the Next Generation Air Dominance, blended wing body aircraft, a supersonic business jet, SR-72 hypersonic jet, and the losing contender for the competition that was won by the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider. As shown by Pace, the Skunk Works gets the credit for the world's first combat jet design with afterburning engines, the L-133 Starjet, and Lockheed took a dive into space tech and guided missiles with the Corona spy satellite program and a stealthy cruise missile. The honor also goes to the Skunk Works for the world's fastest airbreathing drones, the D-21 and Q-5. Also of interest in this book is a high-altitude airship that can stay airborne for days and a hypersonic scramjet-powered aircraft; the unveiling of the SR-72 four years ago gives lie to the opinion of most aviation experts that the much ballyhooed Aurora spyplane either is non-existent or was only a technology demonstrator to test manned airbreathing flight in the Mach 4-6 range. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This will show you history and pictures you probaly will see for the first time *by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2017* This, like the book, X Bombers and Fighters is a very good guide to the glory days of American Aviation. The short programatic histories are very good and historicaly valuable although the ones in the X bomber and fighters book are better and that book gives a much more complete picture of Aircraft technology and engines over time as it covers a much larger scope of work. Good sources for lost programs like the Lockheed SST proposal and their design for the F-15 competiiton. The history of early stealth and the F-22 and possible developments are told very extensively. Also the F-35 program coverage as well as the possible future aircraft are excellent. One of the very few aviation books that tells you things you did not know and has pictures you never saw before which puts in in a special class. If you Liked X Bombers and Fighters you will want this to go with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Ok book. A quick history of the skunk works. *by G***G on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2019* It was ok, but not great. A lot of detail about the administration of programs and political decisions. A few facts I hadn't heard already. Unfortunately, it was very light on the technical challenges overcome on the various aircraft. It seemed somewhat superficial on the technology. It was interesting to note that many cancelled programs fed their technology into later programs. So we didn't ever waste anything, even though we seemed to get many things ready to produce and then cancel the things, probably wasting a lot of money.One thing I was flabbergasted by was how the author somehow forgot that we never captured Bagdad in 1991. He seems to have confused the two Iraq wars... Really made me wonder what else he got wrong. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/36146943-the-projects-of-skunk-works-75-years-of-lockheed-martins](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/36146943-the-projects-of-skunk-works-75-years-of-lockheed-martins) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
