Ha ha!! Too funny!

What's really great about this book is the author went to every show for ten straight years, always arrived early in the morning before the crowds, and took photos and documented every single aircraft on display. Each show and every aircraft is documented in this book. Look for it on eBay or Amazon.

I wonder what the result of the XB-70 program would have been if the one plane had not been lost in the tragic crash? Perhaps the program would still have only been limited to just the two planes that were built and tested, and nothing more??

Does anyone know what the actual top speed that the XB-70 reached? I always read "Mach 3" but nothing more specific.
