Totally agree. A great read. Ben Rich makes the material really approachable, even for non-tech folks. (I gave it to my mom to read and she really liked it!)
My favorite section in that book is when the Skunk Works guys trucked their stealth fighter prototype out to Edwards AFB for radar cross section testing. They stuck it up on a pole and then the AF guys in a radar van lit it up. And they could see it on radar just fine, and the Lockheed engineers were mystified, and the AF guys were giving them a hard time... until the vulture that had been perched on the prototype flew away and left nothing behind.
