Skunk Works
By: Ben R. Rich
5/5
Perhaps my favorite book. I listened to this three or four times on my dad’s Audible account before picking up a paperback.
This book had everything a curious undergraduate engoineering student could ask for; cool planes, geopolitcal intrigue, toxic masculinity, the whole nine yards.
