There are a few other SR-71 threads, but since this one is specifically about Brian Shul, this seemed like a good one to bump.

This is from a thread that was posted directly into PARF, which seems like an odd place.



I didn't realize that he'd written a book until I saw it mentioned in this video (which starts with the "LA Speed-check" but that's not what the video is really about, so keep watching.


Like I said, I didn't realize that B Shul had written a book, and I thought, hell yeah, I want that! Then I saw that to get it used on Amazon was $400-500. Then I found new copies at https://www.sleddriver.com/ starting at $250.

I'd happily pay a reasonable sum for the book, but that's crazy. I have it on good authority that if you were so inclined you could download a pirated copy.

I will say that if you were to get the book and read the first 25-30 pages (out of a total of 150-170 pages), you'd probably be hooked and want to read the rest.

I suspect that in the first few pages of the book, Shul says that his book is not about the technical details and capabilities of the plane itself, but that if you want a book like that you should get "Blackbird" by Paul Crickmore published by Osprey.
It turns out that Paul Crickmore has written several books about the SR71.
