Synopsis

In MiGs over Nevada, the exploitation of foreign aircraft at Aera 51 by the CIA Special Projects Team and the US Air Force, Navy, and various intelligence agencies reversed the 9:1 aerial losses in Vietnam, establishing the US aerial superiority that continues today.
Author TD Barnes details an insider's declassified participation in a small group of CIA personnel and contract specialists providing their technical tradecraft to support Area 51 customers such as the US Air Force, the US Navy, intelligence, and corporate entities. What happened in this book inspired the founding of the Navy's TOP GUN Fighter Weapons School, the USAF Weapons School, and the USAF's RED FLAG training exercises that continue today.

Thornton D.

During his time in the Army, he honed his missile and radar electronics skills, focusing on countering Soviet threats. He also attended the Artillery Officer Candidate School before a military injury altered his career path.
Transitioning to aerospace pursuits, Barnes became involved in significant projects at NASA's High Range in Nevada, contributing to the X-15 program, atomic bomb tests at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Proving Grounds, and the NERVA nuclear rocket project. He furthered his involvement in secretive projects by participating in the CIA's Mach 3 A-12 Project OXCART and stealth initiatives at Area 51.
