Aviation Specials  |  Stealth
Stealth revolutionised the way air wars are fought. It was developed in the ‘deep black world’ where security passes, retina eye scanners and ID cards are a way of life for those who create, test and fly these classified aircraft in remote sites. Often the jets only break cover when their unique capabilities are required in combat or for a particular high-risk mission.
This 100-page special publication, from the team behind AirForces Monthly magazine, examines the operational missions of such types as the Lockheed Martin’s F-117, Northrop Grumman’s B-2 Spirit, and the next generation of ‘stealthy’ aircraft such as Lockheed Martin’s F-22A Raptor. All of these aircraft have been in combat – how effective were they? This unique ‘declassified’ reference guide provides full briefings on
the operational missions flown by these cutting-edge aircraft.
