Kelly Johnson was the engineer/manager who assembled, inspired and generally LED the teams that built the F-104, the U-2 and the SR-71. He was "Mr. Skunk Works". The U-2 in particular was delivered on a timetable that would leave most of today's technical managers flatly incredulous - if he hadn't actually gone and done it. A giant among men he. I heartily applaud Druss placing him near the top.
