Excellent WorkAugust 12, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a really excellent book wriiten from engineer's point of view for the development of F-22. Besides providing with plenty of information about the schedule milesotnes, also describes the Air Force's ingenious dicretions to stipulate the requirements for next generation of air dominance fighter. And most of all, points out the Lockheed's advantages in project management and mutual technologies are the keys to the winning of ATF contract. From the appendix, the author demonstrates his capability to depict the complex rules of stealth in such concise but simple ways for reader to understand. Rare and good book.
