Dreamland by Peter W Merlin

Dreamland by Peter W Merlin

This is the definitive factual history of the US military flight-testing program at Area 51, authored by a recognized authority on the subject.

“But until the government declassifies more information on what has been happening way out there in the desert, Merlin’s book will stand as the definitive source on this subject for many years”
-- Dwayne A. Day, The Space Review
“This book has something for history buffs, aviation enthusiast, aeronautical students and anyone interested in how America developed some the most advanced aircraft of the Cold War and into the 21st century.”
-- Jerry D. Lenaburg, NY Journal of Books
