Xb-70 Valkyrie

by Jeannette Remak, Joseph Ventolo

The incredible Valkyrie was envisioned as a long-range, high-altitude, triple-sonic bomber, capable of Mach 3 at 74,000 feet. Conceived during the Cold War, just two prototypes were ever completed. One crashed during flight testing, the other survives as a centerpiece exhibit at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. This is the inside story of the development, testing, and cancellation of the revolutionary XB-70 Valkyrie.

Reviews

[Michael Kott · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well written and eye-opening account of the fate of the greatest aircraft ever designed and built. Shows how ignorant politicians are.
