I wonder if any of the other ‘geezers’ who read and comment on this site know who the other Kelly Johnson was? Not a journalist, but the father of Lockheed’s famous ‘Skunk Works’, developer of lots of super-secret aircraft technologies from the U-2 to the SR-71 and much, more. All covered thoroughly in spot news reports and numerous documentaries by TV News, of course!
