4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Northrop would have been proud!, October 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: B-2 Spirit: The Most Capable War Machine on the Planet (Hardcover)

The B-2 has already proved everything Mr. Northrop believed in - the flying wings were the way to go. This book not only describes the B-2 but all the flying wings that preceded it.
