The F-117 Nighthawk was the world's first operational aircraft designed and built to utilize stealth technology. It was developed specifically to attack high-value targets and escape without being detected by hostile radar systems. The F-117 first saw action during Operation Just Cause in Panama in December 1989, it owned the skies over Iraq during Desert Storm in early 1991, and it supplemented NATO's Operation Allied Force in Yugoslavia and Kosovo.

F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter Pilot's Flight Manual Paperback, 647 pages The first operational fighter aircraft to utilize “stealth” radar evading technology, the Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk astonished the world when it debuted in 1982.

The F-117 Stealth fighter was designed to be invisible to radar, and beginning with its development in the 1970s, it was also invisible to the public and almost all of the U.S. military for many years. In this look at the Stealth, from the drawing board to test flights to steady combat duty in the Gulf War, the viewer is treated to information and film footage that was once highly classified. There are plenty of stirring shots of Stealth fighters in flight, but this goes beyond being a high-altitude action

During the final years of the 20th century, the most significant break-through in military weaponry was the concept of Stealth technology, and the first mass-produced weapon to utilize this to perfection was the F-117 Nighthawk. Despite the fact that it was first delivered in 1982, the US Air Force officially denied its existence until 1988. Nevertheless, the operational status of the aircraft still remained a well-guarded secret with nighttime only operations from the Tonopah facility in Nevada.However,

Photograph of a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk "Stealth" Fighter in flight. The F-117, developed in total secrecy, was the first operational platform to employ what is known today as "stealth."
