This new book is an in-depth study covering John K. "Jack" Northrop's quest for a clean flying machine. Covered are: Northrop's initial N-1M project, the N-9M, XP-56, through the B-35 project, B-49 project, and the huge bombers planned only on the drawing board. Included are over 300 black and white and color photographs, as well as drawings and statistical data on all of the Northrop flying wing and tailless aircraft. Garry Pape is also the author of Queen of the Midnight Skies: The Story of American's Air Force Night Fighters. John and Donna Campbell are also the authors of Talisman: A Collection of Nose Art. Both books are available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.

Interested in aviation history since his pre-teen years, Garry Pape spent many years in a number of engineering fields in the aerospace industry and participated in numerous aviation organizations. Since retirement he served for a number of years as an air museum curator. He now dedicates his aviation interests to writing. He has had four books published, contributed to two others, and a couple of dozed articles in magazines and museum newsletters; the latest in the fall 2010 American Aviation Historical Society Journal.
