Perhaps the most remarkable chapter in the story of the supersonic SR-71 Blackbird spyplane is that of its predecessor, the A-12 Blackbird, an aircraft capable of speeds in excess of 2,000 miles per hour and an altitude of 15 miles. Long cloaked in secrecy, that tale comes to life in the pages of this history detailing the A-12 from its conception, to its first flight in 1962, and on through the spy missions it flew over China, Southeast Asia and the Eastern Bloc. Also revealed are the details of the top-secret D-21 drone program in which an unmanned, camera-equipped spyplane was launched at Mach 3 from the top of an A-12 fuselage. Illustrated throughout with photographs and schematic drawings, the majority of the information featured here is taken from CIA files declassified asThe majority of the information included in this book is taken from CIA files declassified as part of the Freedom of Information Act.
