Richard H. Graham

Richard H. Graham is a retired Colonel in the United States Air Force who was one of a select few pilots to fly the legendary SR-71 Blackbird — the fastest and highest-flying manned aircraft in aviation history. Flying the SR-71 Blackbird is a first-person account of what it was like to fly the most extraordinary aircraft ever built, capable of flying at over Mach 3 and at altitudes above 80,000 feet. Graham shares the experience of piloting the Blackbird on reconnaissance missions, the rigorous training required, and the remarkable technology that made the aircraft possible. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a thrilling, authoritative account of aviation at its most extreme. Graham's work appeals to aviation enthusiasts, military history buffs, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of human courage and extraordinary technology.
