Lockheed SR-71 Operations in the Far East [PDF ebook] 

Apoio

A detailed history of the Lockheed SR-71, the fastest and highest-flying jet ever built, written by the world’s leading expert on the aircraft and packed with first-hand accounts and colour profiles.Even before the first operational flight of the U-2 spy plane, aircraft designers began work on the type’s replacement. The result was the SR-71. First deployed on March 9, 1968, this tri-sonic ‘hotrod’ flew its first operational sortie over North Vietnam just 12 days later. Thereafter, the SR-71 roamed freely, capturing photographic, radar and electronic intelligence.This book examines the impact this aircraft had, not only on North Vietnam but during the Cold War as a whole, gathering information about the Soviet nuclear submarine fleet based in Vladivostok as well as the port’s defenses, monitoring the actions of North Korea and flying four 11-hour, non-stop sorties into the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq War in the late 1980s.
