Its amazing how many people kept this thing secret for so many years, so many accused of having affairs when they were working on national defense.
People who fear the US dollar is not backed by gold should know this airplane is more expensive than its weight in gold. Jack Northrop we salute you.

At the roll-out, no one was allowed to look at the trailing edge of the B-2 because that part of the design was still a secret. But there were no restrictions to flying overhead, and someone got a photo from an airplane. That ended the secret.

More than one Kagel pilot worked on the Stealth Bomber project because of their experience with tail-less delta wings.
