Über den Autor
During his time at the London Air Traffic Control Centre, Paul Crickmore received a unique introduction to SR-71 operations from RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk. Teaming up with Osprey, he produced the first detailed book to be published on the subject and, following the initial shutdown of SR-71 operations, an even more detailed book, Lockheed SR-71: The Secret Missions Exposed--now the standard reference work. He also authored the first detailed book about the F-117, with his wife, Alison.
