X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Before Hollywood took center stage\, Lockh
 eed Aircraft Corporation made Burbank a powerhouse of innovation\, employi
 ng tens of thousands and producing aircraft that helped shape the outcome 
 of World War II. For many local families\, Lockheed wasn&rsquo\;t just a w
 orkplace. It was a defining part of community life and a source of pride.<
 /p>\n<p>At the heart of this legacy was the legendary Skunk Works\, founde
 d by visionary engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson. This small\, agile team 
 revolutionized aviation with groundbreaking designs like the P-38 Lightnin
 g\, U-2\, and the iconic SR-71 Blackbird - each pushing the limits of spee
 d\, altitude\, and imagination.</p>\n<p><img src="https://static.libnet.in

 e people\, ideas\, and ingenuity behind these achievements. This program o
 ffers a chance to honor those who worked at Lockheed and to introduce a ne
 w generation to Burbank&rsquo\;s remarkable role in shaping aviation histo
 ry.</p>\n<p><strong>We will have copies of <em>The Impossible Factory</em>

 vered a kerosene-soaked masterclass in what extreme innovation looks\, fee
 ls and even smells like. This story could not be more timely as the U.S. t
 ries to revive its industrial base and rekindle its inventive spirit.&rdqu
 o\;&nbsp\;&mdash\;Ashlee Vance\, New York Times bestselling author of&nbsp
 \;<em>When The Heavens Went On Sale</em></p>\n<p>"I absolutely loved&nbsp\
 ;<em>The Impossible Factory</em>.&nbsp\;It's a page-turner that reveals wh
 o Kelly Johnson was as a person and how he and the brilliant team he assem
 bled at Lockheed Skunk Works were able to design the aircraft that shaped 
 the twentieth century. We learn about the evolution of planes over seventy
  years and meet test pilots and engineers\, military leaders and politicia
 ns\, collaborators and successors &ndash\; all people essential to buildin
 g the world we live in today. A must-read book."&nbsp\;&mdash\;Katherine S
 harp Landdeck\, author of&nbsp\;<em>The Women with Silver Wings</em></p>\n
