THE FATHER
OF STEALTH
The title usually goes to another man, but Ed
Lovick was the first radar signature reduction expert brought in by
Kelly Johnson's Skunk Works. In his 32 years there, he proved

Blackbird, and his achievements on the F117 Nighthawk may have yet to be
surpassed. AVweb's Glenn Pew spoke with Lovick, now in his
nineties, about his life's work.
