The most in-depth Stealth fighter book ever follows the development, operation, technology, testing, and history of the F-117 Nighthawk. A special section details F-117 combat operations in Panama and the Gulf War, and appendices detail individual aircraft by serial number, pilot bandit numbers, check-out dates, unit histories, significant dates and events, cockpit schematics, and all squadron commanders. Author Paul Crickmore gathered the information for the book from the Lockheed F-117 program manager, the F-117 Squadron Commander, and from talking with many, many pilots. These contacts coupled with recently declassified information on the Stealth program make this the most insightful book ever published on the subject.
