A product of the Lockheed Skunk Works, the F-117 Nighthawk was the first operational aircraft to be designed around stealth technology. Although popularly known as the stealth fighter it was actually a ground-attack aircraft.

4.0 out of 5 stars More detailed than I'd expected

Keeping in my that many aspects of the F-117A are still firmly in the "I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you" category, I'm genuinely pleased by how detailed this book is. Some of Haynes' modern military aircraft books tend to come across as novelty titles or manufacturer's publicity. With veteran aviation historian Paul Crickmore at the helm, this "manual" stays mostly on firm ground. The sections focusing on the aircraft's development and early history are fairly in-depth, as is the chapter on its operational history. On a technical level, there's quite a bit here that simply wasn't available a decade ago. There are some excellent photographs of F-117s under construction and undergoing maintenance, detailed diagrams from original manuals, and descriptions of major systems and post-OCIP upgrades.

Former F-117 pilot Lt. Col. William O'Connor, and weapons specialist SSgt Yancy Mailes, each get their own chapter. O'Connor's chapter covers a single mission, from takeoff to landing, during the early phase of Operation Allied Force in 1999. Mailes explains how he became involved in Senior Trend, some of the intricacies of loading and arming Laser Guided Bombs and the "joys" of maintaining the aircraft. These two chapters are fairly lengthy and provide some excellent backing material, and a human element to what could have been a dry, technical work.

Compared with, say, the Haynes books on the F-15 and B-52, some will probably be disappointed by the lack of hardcore technical details presented here. As much as I'd like to know what the actual composition of Radar Absorbing Material is, or what every button on the throttle does, I'm enjoying NOT living in a federal prison, thank you! Perhaps in another 20 years more data will be (legally!) available, but for the moment, this is pretty decent reference.

A nice idea apart from a couple if new pictures same information practically that's been published over and over could have been made cheaper as a softback. Stick to the first Crickmore book on the f117 you can pick that up for a fiver on other sites
