Any good books about planes? Turns out planes are really cool. Bonus points for any about the F-22 or F-35.

I've read Skunkworks and Sled Driver so far, both fantastic.

The Vietnamese might argue otherwise. My grandfather flew one in Vietnam and that mf went back for 3 tours. Guess he liked killing.

I don't know much about planes at all, my friend who's a massive fan of the Raptor introduced me to them. And goddamn they're so sexy, pure mechanical brilliance
