During the early years of the Cold War, the most effective way to gather strategic intelligence about the Soviet Union and its allies was manned overflight. Lockheed's U-2 was spectacularly successful in this role, however, much to the concern of US President Eisenhower, its shape meant that it could be tracked on Russian radars. Given the highly sensitive nature of such flights, the President insisted that every effort should be made to reduce to zero the U-2's radar cross section (RCS), thereby making the aircraft invisible. When this was proven to be impossible, the stage was set for a U-2 replacement. Following a competition between Lockheed and Convair, the former was declared the winner and the result was the A-12. Designed to incorporate 'stealth' features before the term was even coined, the A-12 has to date proven to be the fastest, highest flying jet aircraft ever built. This book will also cover a two-seat variation of the design built as an advanced interceptor – the YF-12.

This is a REVISED 60th Anniversary edition of the A-12 Classified -The Lockheed A-12 Blackbird. It is updated with new photos and text. The A-12 Blackbird was the first of the high-speed reconnaissance aircraft to enter the Cold War. It was kept a deep, dark secret until the aircraft started to appear in the early 1990s at a few aviation museums, No one knew anything about the birds, except that they looked like the SR-71, but they were far from that. The A-12 Blackbird was the fastest of the Blackbirds and flew clandestine missions over North Korea, and Vietnam. this is the first book ever on the secret aircraft with information gotten from 10 years of FOIAs and research never before covered.

Designed to incorporate 'stealth' features before the term was even coined, the A-12 has to date proven to be the fastest, highest flying jet aircraft ever built, and is operated exclusively by the Central Intelligence Agency. This book will also cover a two-seat variation of the design built as an advanced interceptor - the YF-12. In addition, the D-21 drone programme, known as Tagboard will also be covered.

The Lockheed 'Blackbird' aircraft family is arguably the most famous in the world. Developed for the USAF as reconnaissance aircraft nearly 40 years ago, SR-71s remained the world's fastest and highest-flying production aircraft throughout their operational existence. For the first time, the stories of the development program, the General Dynamics "Kingfish" competition, the M-21 and D-21 effort, the F-12 saga, and the operational history of the A-12 and SR-71 under the auspices of the CIA and the Air Force are all covered in detail.

The Lockheed A-12 Cygnus is the mysterious older "cousin" of the Lockheed SR-71. It is not as well-known as the SR-71. Yet the A-12 flew higher and faster than its close relative. Both planes were spectacular. And both are fascinating subjects for young readers.This book is intended for younger audiences who would enjoy sinking their teeth into something with more plane-specific detail than a basic picture book of a general nature about airplanes. It is 20 pages in length and each page carries text and a photo. The A-12 is a highly complex plane. Maybe that's why it fascinates aviation enthusiasts. However, some of the plane's features can be difficult to understand. This book treats the technical aspects of the plane in a manner that young readers would understand and enjoy.The book covers features of the A-12 such as its extraordinarily powerful J58 engines. It discusses the operation of the inlet spikes at the front of each engine casing. The book doesn't delve into the complex physics of maintaining shock waves in the engine inlets and how that enabled the engine to operate as both a turbojet and a ram jet. That subject is complex for many young readers. But on a very easy-to-follow level, it touches upon the features of the plane that young readers would enjoy learning about.The A-12 had to deal with so many technical problems, and it tackled all of them in such ingenious and fascinating ways. The plane was constructed of titanium and other materials, including asbestos. This was to withstand the temperatures generated by flying at three times the speed of sound. The A-12 is indeed a marvel of engineering. This book presents the plane's features to young readers in a way that could spark their interest in science and technology, but without losing them in excessive engineering theory.

Ever wonder why when you go to Museums to see an A-12 or an SR-71 how they got in either that great condition or terrible condition? This directive was requested by the Roadrunners Internationale Organization. They are the group that is responsible for flying and maintaining the Lockheed A-12/ OXCART program and SENIOR CROWN. Lockheed built and helped maintain these very rare and elusive aircraft. The A-12 and the SR-71 are the backbone of Aerial Reconnaissance for the United States. Maintenance of these aircraft has always been in question as many of these very few aircraft are left to the elements and appear in poor condition, mis-marked with the wrong information and have been poorly maintained by the host museums. This directive will give the pertinent information on restoration and procedures of maintenance of these aircraft, including an appendices that carries material direct from the A-12 manual.
