Aeroplane | SR-71 Blackbird
From the shadows of the Cold War emerged an espionage platform that expanded the limits of human possibility and made the theoretical thrillingly real.
The fastest manned aircraft in the history of flight, the Blackbird family and its best-known member, the SR-71, streaked across the stratosphere faster than a bullet and delivered stunning intelligence data to the West.
The futuristic image of the Blackbird conjures up notions of science fiction, literally pushing the envelope in speed, stealth, and high-altitude performance.
Come and soar with the SR-71 and its partners. Feel the surge of supersonic speed and see the sun brilliantly from the silence of space. This 116-page SR-71 Blackbird special takes readers along for the ride of a lifetime.
