From: wb9omc@ecn.purdue.edu (Duane P Mantick) As I promised earlier, here are the numbers/info. on this book so that if you wish to order it, you can give your favorite bookstore something to work with: Title: "Kelly: More Than My Share of It All" Author(s): Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson with Maggie Smith Publisher: Smithsonian Institute Press, Washington D.C. Copyright 1985 [my book is from fourth printing, 1987] ISBN 0-87474-564-0 Here is a big long number that may be useless except in a library: UG626.2.J62A36 1985 629.13'0092'4 <<<<<<this last one looks suspisciously like a library card catalog number I think the ISBN number is the one you need for ordering purposes. This is a fascinating book, IMHO, that gives some personal insight into the man behind the Skunk Works and their products from his earliest days with the Lockheed Electra right up through the SR71's. There is also some interesting discussion of the Glomar Explorer, which is generally known as a Hughes project, but for which Lockheed designed the mechanism to pick up a sunken Russian sub from 15,000 feet down. FYI, my copy from the USAF Museum bookshop cost me $17.95 (hardcover). Your mileage may vary. :-) Duane
