To Fly the US Air Force SR-71 Blackbird at Mach 3 and 85,000 Feet You Needed an Astronaut’s Body, Iron Nerves, and the Stomach to Outrun Soviet Missiles
Summary and Key Points: The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird could outrun anything an enemy fired at it, and that was the whole point of the airplane. The machine was only as good as the two people strapped inside it, though, and the Air Force went to remarkable lengths to be certain…

Summary and Key Points: The AH-64 Apache was designed to do one thing: kill Soviet tanks as they came through the Fulda Gap. Every choice in the airframe reflects it — the tandem cockpit with the gunner forward and the pilot behind, twin engines for redundancy, armor and separated critical…
