The North American XB-70 is one of the most unusual looking aircraft in aviation history, and only two were constructed. It was originally designed as a Mach 3 high-altitude bomber, but was later used as a research aircraft. This new book by John Campbell and Garry Pape gives a short, detailed history of the XB-70, including production, flight tests, and the fatal crash of Aircraft #2 in 1965. Aircraft #1 is now at the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB.

Interested in aviation history since his pre-teen years, Garry Pape spent many years in a number of engineering fields in the aerospace industry and participated in numerous aviation organizations. Since retirement he served for a number of years as an air museum curator. He now dedicates his aviation interests to writing. He has had four books published, contributed to two others, and a couple of dozed articles in magazines and museum newsletters; the latest in the fall 2010 American Aviation Historical Society Journal.
