Secrets in the Sky: The Untold Story of Skunk Works Storyline

In 1943, in a circus tent in Burbank, CA, a bunch of revolutionary thinkers first gathered together in secrecy to build America’s first jet fighter. They were rule benders, chance takers, corner cutters-people who believed that nothing was impossible. In the decades that followed, this secret club would create some of the most iconic flying machines in history: the U-2 spy plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 stealth bomber – each of them so unfamiliar, so far ahead of their time, that they were often mistaken for something otherworldly. Secrets in the Sky: The Untold Story of Skunk Works pulls back the veil of secrecy on Lockheed Martin’s enigmatic Skunk Works program. It features never-before-seen material: rare photos, films locked away for decades, and entries from the private journals and logbooks of Skunk Works’ founder and aerospace legend, Kelly Johnson. With narration by Dennis Quaid, in Kelly Johnson’s own words, the film plunges deep into a world shrouded in secrecy – where wars are won or lost not just on the battlefield, but at the design table. Secrets in the Sky: The Untold Story of Skunk Works reveals the incredible story of one small group of bootstrapping engineers and pilots whose innovative aircraft changed world history.

Engineers

It’s a 2 hr History Channel doc of the legendary Lockheed Martin secret division. This tells the story of these engineers led by Kelly Johnson who created some of the most revolutionary aircrafts of their time. It concentrates on the U-2, SR-71 Blackbird, and FB-117 Nighthawk. Quite frankly, the first hour with U-2 and SR-71 is not the most deep or compelling examination of history. The history is nice but there is no drama until we get to the Stealth plane. It probably helps that they were the underdogs by that time. That part of the story would make for a good movie.

It would have been 10/10, but….

Annie Jacobsen? Why??? Because she wrote a factually incorrect book about Area 51? Which Included some ridiculous nonsense about mutant-midget teenagers created by Josef Mengele (yeah, that one – the Nazi) flying Russian-made UFO’s? Please. She isn’t an aviation historian as are most of the other speakers in this video. She had nothing to do with Area 51 or anything else, other than the crappy books she has written.

Otherwise the documentary was well done and factually correct as far as I can tell.

Not bad.

Not bad. I already knew a lot of this, but there was some little details and other things that I didn’t know.

Wish they would do documentaries on newer declassified stuff.
