Quick answers
Are the scores a ranking of nations or armies?
No. Scores are browsing aids inside an era-bounded atlas — not live league tables of countries.
What is Skunk Works?
Lockheed's advanced-development organisation, associated with Kelly Johnson and later Ben Rich, and with types such as the U-2 and SR-71. A historical shop, not a visitor workshop.
What did Martin bring?
Bomber heritage and, as Martin Marietta, Titan missiles and space contracting -- the other half of the hyphen.
Why does Korea appear here?
Because ROK purchases of Lockheed types (notably F-16 and F-35) are a dated alliance-industrial story. See also the ROK military page.
Is the F-35 "history"?
Its procurement and politics are already a thick public file. Performance claims stay out of this encyclopedia except as disputed hearing objects.
Who is Kelly Johnson?
The engineer-manager name of mid-century Skunk Works. Memoir fame exceeds any single airframe.
SR-71 poster, Johnson's Kelly blue, a Senate hearing thumbnail of an F-35.
Augustine's industry essays as the unglamorous icon.

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.
