While we're on the subject of books and the XB-70, might I recommend
Valkyrie: North American's Mach Three Superbomber by Dennis R. Jenkins
and Tony R. Landis, published by Specialty Press. A terrific book
that covers everything you'd ever want to know about the XB-70
program. Filled with hundreds of photos, line drawings, schematics,
etc. It starts with the NB-36H "nuclear bomber", moving through the
attempted developement of the XF-103 and XF-108 Mach 3 fighters to the
XB-70 program itself, beginning to end. Included is the complete
accident investigation report discussed here. A great book,
especially if you like seeing some of the really "out there" design
concepts that litter aviation history in the 50s and early 60s. I
include a link to the book at Amazon, but I imagine any decent
bookstore could get a copy (mine came from a local Borders).
