Skunk Works
by Ben R. Rich & Leo Janos
Innovation has always been a keystone of the U.S. military, and nowhere is this more apparent than the evolution of stealth aircraft technology. A staunch partnership between the Air Force and our industry partners started with a bold quest—make an attack aircraft with the radar cross section of a marble. Today, we have unmatched 5th generation fighters, and our B-21 Raider will take stealth into the next century. We must get comfortable thinking outside the box and innovating daily … this book sets the tone.
Space Barons
by Christian Davenport
Davenport weaves a very compelling narrative that leaves the reader both entertained and well-informed about what the commercial sector is doing in space and how the "Space Barons" are setting the pace for space activities today.
