About this listen
Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson led the design of such crucial aircraft as the P-38 and Constellation, but he will be more remembered for the U-2 and SR-71 spy planes. His extraordinary leadership of the Lockheed "Skunk Works" cemented his reputation as a legendary figure in American aerospace management.

For the engineering out there
Great listen, Great insight. The elusive skunk works somewhat unraveled, the engineering pitfalls and problem solving was impressive to hear.

Very interesting but ......
Fascinating account, but the listener MUST take into account the occasional "American Chest-beating" and the historical truth "bending" here and there!
Example "No one has solved the issue of deep stalling with SST's. look at what happened to the Russian TU-144!"
Err .... what about Concorde???
there is an element of plainly misguided and overt patriotism running through this, but if you can ignore that it's a great account!

Interesting; worth the time.
Interesting, and well told, but lacking detail. It reads a bit like a CV plus, having established credentials, and appeal to government for reform. Well worth the time, nonetheless.
