For over a decade, Sled Driver has been the most sought after book on the legendary SR-71. Written and beautifully photographed by SR-71 pilot Brian Shul, the book intimately revealed what it was like to fly the world's fastest highest flying jet.

Sled Driver was the first book to put the reader into the cockpit of the most exotic aircraft ever built. With first hand accounts from Mach3+ speed runs over hostile threats, to star gazing at 80,000 feet, Sled Driver endeared itself to aviation fans world wide with such passionate prose and memorable photographs that it became an enduring aviation classic.

Out of print for nearly 2 years the most coveted of all Blackbird books returns to celebrate the Centennial of Flight in a special limited edition printing of only 3500 copies.
