Synopsis
Twentieth Anniversary Commemorative Edition! A riveting first hand account of one of the hottest missions ever flown in the secret SR-71.

Coupled with the pilot's and RSO's accounts of their unforgettable three flights in three days, this a real page turner. Stunning photos from the author's personal collection.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Shul, Brian; Allan, Chris (illustrator). First Edition Thus. Signed and inscribed by Brian Shul upon front free endpaper. Oblong 14" x 10.75". 184 pages. Glossary. Profusely illustrated with stunning colour photos. This commemorative edition contains new and revised text and photographic material in addition to material previously published in The Untouchables in 1993. "Shul and Watson take you with them on their hottest SR-71 missions during the Libyan Crisis in 1896. Flying in support of the F-111 bombing raid on Libyan terrorist camps, they were the only SR-71 crew ever to fly three missions in three days. Roaring across the African desert faster than a Magnum .357 bullet, the crew reveals in riveting detail what it was like to outrun enemy missiles and complete the most exhausting missions of their Blackbird career. Masterfully intertwines cockpit action with the fascinating revelations of that unique cadre of civilians who helped design, build and maintain the most remarkable aircraft of the 20th Century. Lavishly illustrated with rare [color] photographs, [this book] is a riveting complementary volume to Sled Driver, taking you straight into the thick of combat through the firsthand perspectives of both Pilot and RSO. Transports you directly into the cockpit as the mission clock ticks down, revealing through the poignant words of those who were there why the people and the plane were truly untouchable." - dust jacket. "The closest you will come to flying a real combat sortie in the SR-71. Fascinating revelations." - Major General Walker Abrahms, USAF. Publisher's black cloth adorned with bright gilt lettering and illustration. Unmarked. Contents clean and bright. Binding intact with minor lean. Boards mildly undulating. Somewhat above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A worthy signed copy of this epic SR-71 memento. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 515h5044
