I find it difficult to describe this book. It is a sort of ramble through the world of classified military bases and military research into aircraft, with side trips through Roswell and the various UFO-investigators. Not anything like the sober historical journalism of "Area 51" by Annie Jacobsen, but chock full of fascinating character sketches and anecdotes.
