### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice summary of “black” aviation
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015*

Actually, this book is only a summary of the black airplanes tested at the Groom Lake (and surrounding areas) north of Las Vegas.  So the B2 bomber is acknowledged but not discussed (as it was not tested at that location).  Still, the book talked about many planes I had heard something about as well as some that I had not known about.  The book also gives some history on the myths behind Area 51.  The book does not go into a lot of technical details; so it was a fairly easy read.  The book’s coverage of black jets seemed quite complete; though in such a secrecy-shrouded environment, who can know for sure?There are also a number of photos.  Photos (and maps) don’t show up well on the Kindle’s e-ink reader (so I had to use the Kindle app to view them on my PC).  Also, when I finished reading the book, my Kindle indicated the book was 75% read (as reference materials were the final 25% of the book).Note: As I’d already read Ben Rich’s book (“Skunk Works”), there was some information overlap.  I felt Rich’s book, being written from a personal viewpoint, was a more interesting “read”.  But both books have something of value for the reader.

    The most comprehensive overview of secret warplanes flown at Area 51
  

*by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2015*

Area 51 is often feted by UFO gurus as a secret site for the US government's efforts to reverse-engineer UFO spaceships and research into extraterrestrials. In reality, the most top-secret military base built in the United States has been a testing ground for some American spyplanes and X-planes with potential military applications.Renowned writer Bill Yenne chronicles the history of Area 51 and all the planes that have been flown at the base since the 1950s, from the U-2 Dragon Lady to the Bird of Prey and RQ-170. He also devotes one chapter of this book to MiG fighters that were acquired by the US for evaluation testing at Area 51, and Yenne also discusses the mythical Aurora spyplane and Black Manta tactical spyplane, whose existence was postulated based on anecdotal sightings.For anyone interested in secret US military aircraft, Area 51: Black Jets is a valuable guide to understanding aviation development at the most secretive military installation in America.
