Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter
Sweetman. Born from a series of little-known technology programs and an intense competition between Lockheed Martin and Boeing (see below), the F-35 joint strike fighter is one of the biggest single military projects ever - and the results are amazing. Here you'll see an airplane that virtually flies itself, allowing the pilot to manage a mission with the latest in high tech instruments. 160 pages, 150 color and 50 B&W photographs, 10"x 10", hardcover. #0087271
