For anyone interested in the SR-71 (and other Cold War era spy planes), Skunkworks by Joe Rich is a fascinating read with lots of fun details about their development.
Also, fun fact - in 2025 we will cross over into a period of history where the SR-71 first flew closer to the Wright Flyer than to the present day.
