- 75 Years of Lockheed Martin ADP [Advanced Development Program]
- [I got the original book in hand, and I was drawn into the contents without thinking. ] Junichi Ishikawa

- I have been interested in the [Black Project] that has been kept secretly for a long time and related articles have also been many things, but it was the original book [THE PROJRCTOFS KUNKWORKS] that I bought without looking at the cover page and just seeing the contents is there.
- When I got it first, I was overwhelmed by that presence first.
- As you read it, it is dragged into the depth of the content, and finally I want to translate this book and tell someone about its fun. It was this book (Japanese version) that was born as a result.
- For Skunk Works there have been published many books, and the translators themselves also have the experience of writing feature articles. However, this episode was unexpectedly scattered in this book and there were many new discoveries.
- 75 years since the birth of Skunk Works. It was an unexpected pleasure to be able to complete this book in that year. (translator)

- To combat the big threat of German jet jet, the current development project of Lockheed Martin company (ADP) was born for the purpose of developing turbojet fighter aircraft in 1943.
- ADP surviving after the war and continuing to produce the most exciting aircraft and its technologies is well-known for aliases. Yes, its name is Skunk Works. Skunkworks was born as an organization capable of functioning without delay in a world where Lockheed designer Clarence `Kelly` Johnson, including a huge bureaucracy and living horse's eye-catching eyes.
- This [Illustrated History] is a masterpiece to investigate everything [Skunkworks Project] as far as the author Steve Pays is known, and to turn it over at one end of its thick veil.
- From the beginning of XP-80, we are introducing more than 80 projects such as jet fighters and jet engines, missiles and unmanned aircraft, airships and ships.
- Of these projects, some were mass-produced, many disappeared without surviving the test stage.
- Pace makes every effort to investigate these, and as a result it goes beyond the technology and specs, each historical background.
- Beyond the legendary aircraft like F - 94 Starfire, U - 2, F - 104 Starfighter, SR - 71 Blackbird, F - 117 Nighthawk, and F - 35 Lightning II, From the unknown project to the aircraft still in the proposal stage like the SR - 72 hypersonic reconnaissance aircraft.
- In the Lockheed facility in Southern California, 300 unusual pictures of projects taken in a test site that was once confidential are counted, and several dozen illustrations complement it.
- Reliable literature on the remarkable originality of the United States, the story of the next generation of air-dominated fighter aircraft, drones reconnaissance aircraft and all-weather fighter until 2035 is a phenomenal stealth tactical fighter, F-22 Raptor Even the small haze is.
- Illustrated History of 75 years that has brought together superior brains and has produced amazing skills, that is the book. (From the back cover)
