  The pursuit of speed has always captivated the human imagination, driving innovation and inspiring some of the greatest technological advancements in history. From the Wright brothers’ first powered flight to the jet-propelled marvels of the 20th century, aviation has relentlessly pushed the boundaries of what was once thought possible. Among these achievements, the fastest planes in history hold a special allure, embodying the pinnacle of engineering ingenuity and daring ambition.  
    
  This book delves into the enigmatic world of high-speed aviation, where myths and reality often intertwine. The fastest planes are not merely machines; they are symbols of national pride, strategic power, and the unyielding human desire to conquer the skies. Their stories are riddled with secrecy, as many of these aircraft were developed in the shadows of classified programs. Some remain shrouded in mystery, with questions about their true capabilities and existence lingering decades after their supposed flights.  
    
  Central to this narrative is the SR-71 Blackbird, an engineering masterpiece that redefined what it meant to be fast. Known as the "Habu" to those who flew it, this aircraft’s extraordinary performance—combined with its striking appearance—cemented its legendary status. Yet, the SR-71 is just one chapter in the larger saga of aviation speed. The rumored Aurora project, whispers of hypersonic successors, and the race to develop spaceplanes all contribute to a tapestry of intrigue that continues to evolve today.

  American Founders - How People...

  American Founders reveals men and women of African descent as key protagonists in the story of American democracy. It chronicles how black people developed and defended New World settlements, undermined slavery, and championed freedom throughout the hemisphere from the sixteenth thorough the twentieth centuries. While conventional history tends to reduce the roles of African Americans to antebellum slavery and the civil rights movement, in reality African residents preceded the English by a century and arrived in the Americas in numbers that far exceeded European migrants up until 1820. Afro-Americans were omnipresent in the founding and advancement of the Americas, and recurrently outnumbered Europeans at many times and places, from colonial Peru to antebellum Virginia. African-descended people contributed to every facet of American history as explorers, conquistadores, settlers, soldiers, sailors, servants, slaves, rebels, leaders, lawyers, translators, teachers, doctors, nurses, inventors, investors, merchants, mathematicians, scientists, scholars, and presidents. The multitude of events and mixed-race individuals included in the book underscores that black and white Americans share the same history, and in many cases, the same ancestry. American Founders is meant to celebrate this shared heritage and strengthen these bonds.
