As a former member of Team Stealth I am aways looking for interesting books and pictures about the F-117A especially now that they are retired to storage. This book is like the yearbook Team Stealth never got. Anyone that ever worked on this program should have a copy of this book. There are hundreds of pictures of the F-117A. Most of them are very familiar and some of them are very rare. To think there was a time once when pictures like this would get a person locked up in prison, well now they are out and here for you to share with your families and children that never got to hear what you were doing when you were doing it. As if that wasn't enough Don Logan goes the extra step to present pictures of our old favorites A-7D's and A-7K's from the 4450th days at TTR. Those pictures alone set this book far and beyond any F-117A book I have seen thus far. Other books have focused on testing aspects and war experiences from the pilots, or the development stages of the program from Lockheed. Never has anyone cataloged each aircraft by tail number and provided individual historical facts that pertain to each aircraft. The book is well bound by a a nice sturdy "yearbook style" cover and similiar in size.
Anyone who reads this book will be floored at the end when you read the caption about the author. Don Logan is a Great American!! and a true Patriot!!

Once again, Don Logan has produced an excellent book. Filled with pages upon pages of color photos, modellers and aviation enthusiasts alike must have this book on their shelves. Unlike many of Logan's earlier books, this book contains far more photos of the aircraft in the air as opposed to simply sitting on the tarmac, but I'm happy with either scenario. Also included are some excellent photos of an overall ghost gray F-117 (79-0782) in addition to the famous "Gray Ghost" (85-0385). I was never aware of this paint scheme, so modellers will appreciate these photos.

If you are interested in F-117 Stealth Fighters, this is the definitive book on the subject. There are photos of every Stealth Fighter and a brief History of each aircraft.
