Icons

People and debates around Lockheed Martin.

Educational history. Casualty figures are documented ranges. This is not operational advice, a ranking of nations, or a how-to for weapons or coups.

SR-71 poster, Johnson's Kelly blue, a Senate hearing thumbnail of an F-35.

Debate

Did consolidation save or over-price the Pentagon?

Augustine's generation said shrink or die. Critics said monopoly. The hearing file is the source, not this caption.

Memoir fame vs programme-office failure

U-2 success stories sit beside F-35 concurrency. Hold both.

A video game skin is not a monograph.

Skunk Works is a brand; keep the memoir bias visible.
