Description
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.

This is a memoir of an aviation leader; from his growing up in Northern Michigan through his design of some of the greatest airplanes in the world. As the teaser says, it's about Kelly, not about the projects, told in the first person. Short and sweet book.
