B-1 Fact Book

This is a scan of most of the pages of the original B-1 notes booklet all the members of the B-1 team going to Farnborough were issued.

Created to insure that we were all consistent in our responses to the press and public, what I'd call now when I have my marketing hat on staying on message, I was actually briefly interviewed by TASS during the show, so appreciated having this.

The clever reader will note that there are one or more pages missing. This orignal, yellow, version exposed more performance data than we wanted, we were re-issued a blue one. I can't find that one. I'm omitting the performance data that was too exposed, 20 years later the airplanes are still flying, after all.

And obviously, this is slanted by the B-1 team to answer any objection to the B-1. Remember, the Farnborough trip was primarily a PR trip to convince our decision makers that they should continue to fund the B-1.
