I concur... Not only for the F-117, but the SR-71 as well... The explanation of the “plunger” in the engine intake that allowed the aircraft to operate at high speeds and altitudes is incredible. Skunk Works is a book for anyone interested in military/aviation history.

The 71 is my favorite thing in existence. My daughter worked on the 117 and said it’s more incredible than people will ever know ;)
