[ARC5] A10 Warthog

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Jack:

My mistake.  It was the F-104.
By chance when the used book "Spyplane, the U-2 History Declassified" by Norman Polmar arrived it had newspaper 
clippings and post-it notes by Ed Lovick.  I'm now reading his book "Radar Man, A personal History of Stealth".

Have Fun,
