Six Generals and more than seventy SR-71 crew have given the author of this book the inside story. Over 200 photographs, official technical specifications and performance data and accurate accounts of the SR-71's operationsl missions are included, This updated edition now lists every flight ever taken for the 9th Reconnaissance Wing and post-1990, for NASA, who decided to continued to use the SR-71 as a supersonic test platform as well as details such as aborted missions, who piloted the flights and how long each flight was."--Amazon.com.
