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.

I feel like more details on specific objects could've been put into this to make the story longer. very intersting story!

I only wish the book was a bit longer

The book vividly describes his life and work and is best read before/after the book called “Skunkworks” by Ben Rich

Truly a great man!

If you want to know about the genius behind Skunkworks and planes like the Sr71 look no further. This is a short but insightful account of the man the legend. Narrator was fine

A lot of Kelly's history explains his drive and ambition. He doesn't take credit for inventing everything, but deserves all the credit for how he organized and recruited talent. Some great information about the U2 and how they invented the SR 71 and it's many iterations.
Very well done.

Very well done, well researched and narrated.

Loved it, just wished there was more. Kelly Johnson is an Engineering hero. as important to the world as was Edison, though Kelly was so much more humble. someone for all to aspire to be like.

An amazing engineer tells his story.

Kelly is one of my heros, this book was perfect to me. It goes over what shaped him and that is worth more then the aviation stories, which are phenomenal too.

I wish it was longer
