From: cdr@amd.com (Carl Rigney) The Black Watch: The men who fly America's secret spy planes Ernest K. Gann Random House, New York, 1989 ISBN 0-394-57507-5 UG763.G36 210pp 1. Aerial reconnaissance 2. United States, Air Force, Squadron, 99th 3. U-2 (Reconnaissance aircraft) 4. SR-71 (Jet reconnaissance plane) Not a lot of hardcore data but some interesting writing on what its like to be one of the men who fly U-2s and SR-71s (but mostly U-2s) from the author of _Fate is the Hunter_. Several good jokes about SR-71s and a nice scene with Kelly Johnson and Eisenhower. -- Carl Rigney cdr@amd.com "What's the difference between a porcupine and an SR-71?"
