STEALTH OPERATIONS DECLASSIFIED: HISTORY - PROTOTYPES - TECHNOLOGY
This 100-page special publication, from the team behind AirForces Monthly magazine, examines the operational missions of such types as the Lockheed Martinʼs F-117, Northrop Grummanʼs B-2 Spirit, and the next generation of ʽstealthyʼ aircraft such as Lockheed Martinʼs F-22A Raptor. All of these aircraft have been in combat – how effective were they? We also look into the ''black world'' and report on America's secret programmes at Area 51, many of which areyet to be declassified.
