If you like aerospatial history but also if you'll like to know how all this birds were made, you should read "Skunk Works". I have just finished reading it, and is a great book. It tells all the development of the U2, SR71, F117, and more.
It's also greatly recomended for entrepreneurs, they worked as an small team, a very talented and focused group of people building unbeliable planes. At the end it has a great rant against all the bourocracy that has built up alog the years at the government.
Second Skunk Works. They really did some amazing things, and that is probably the best book on it. It reads like folklore.org, in that it's one of the principal people involved retelling the stories.

Just an amazing read!
