The SR-71 Well technically it's the fastest manned jet - NASA have that unmanned Scramjet-powered X-43 which can travel over Mach 9. Saying that that letter is dated '92.
Yup, it's a first edition printing
There is a new edition, which looks *really* nice, but it's also over $400...

Remember the first time I saw one as a kid, I just stood there for ages and thought "That plane is the coolest thing I've ever seen"
If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"
Niiiice
I've been keeping my eye out for a cheapish copy of that for years but I've yet to find a copy for less than a ton
lovely mate... that'll need a nice clean bag to store it in won't it?

I've got a pretty decent video about the SR-71 - it's actually hideously low-tech for such a ridiculously fast thing Vewry jealous of the book though - got some proper provenance too Nice find!
