Summary:
"
Area
51'
s
most
important military
aviation
developments are profiled in an illustrated format. When
most
of us think of
Area
51, we think of aliens, UFOs, and controversial government cover-ups. It'
s
easy to forget that, since the mid-1950s, the United States' famed extension of Edwards Air Force
Base
has served as a top-secret CIA testing ground for many of the
most
groundbreaking advancements in American military
aviation
technology. In
Area
51 -
Black
Jets
, author and military historian Bill Yenne offers the first fully illustrated chronology of
Area
51'
s
most
famous
aircraft
projects, including Lockheed'
s
U-2 "Dragon Lady" and SR-71 "Blackbird" reconnaissance planes, drones ranging from the early Lockheed D-21 to the modern-day General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and the famous F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter produced by the Have Blue program during the 1970s. Each project is given its own fascinating chapter illuminating the
aircraft
's development at this famed location. But beyond the
aircraft
themselves,
Area
51 -
Black
Jets
also covers a handful of the many classified experimental programs carried out at
Area
51 over the years, such as Have Doughnut, Have Ferry, and Have Drill--secret undertakings that successfully reverse-engineered such enemy
aircraft
as the Russian MiG during the Cold War. Presented in beautiful hardcover format and illustrated with historic color and black-and-white photographs, diagrams, and maps, this book reveals
Area
51 for what it truly is: a clandestine
area
for the United States'
most
cutting-edge technological innovators in military
aviation
