The development of Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor jet fighter goes back to 1981 when its prototype won the US Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter contract. This profile traces the development of the aircraft from the drawing board in the early 1980s to 1997, when it first flew as an official US Air Force fighter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Most up-to-date reference on the F-22., 30 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Highly recommended for those interested in modern aviation. I've followed this plane ever since I saw one of its first flights in 1990. Well written, with good photography, this book covers background and development, the YF-22 and -23 prototype competition, and the production F-22. I particularly liked the coverage of the advanced tactical fighter prosposals from other manufacturers, and the detailed differences between the prototype and production models. The book has a slightly breathless quality, as if the author couldn't wait to get it into print. Sweetman is good at that, though- check out his book "Aurora" in which he pieces together a compelling picture of the top-secret hypersonic spy plane from very little hard information. Much new technology to cover here. There is a 1998 article on the F-22 in "Air and Space Smithsonian" that is a good complement to this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars "An excellent book, one of the finest on modern warplanes", 7 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This soft cover features abundant pictures, and indepth coverage of the technical aspects of the marvelous warplane we know as the Raptor. This is definately an enthusiast's book, with a lot of description about the Raptor's capabilities. Check it out, I it think at this price it is a bargain - I bought it at a book store at twice the price.
