There is a book about this and more called “Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed” by by Ben R. Rich and Leo Janos
Fascinating read!
Epilogue from the book.
Ben R. Rich died from cancer on January 5, 1995. Ben died as he had lived — with courage, good
humor, and resolve. At his request, his ashes were scattered from an airplane near his beachfront
house on the California coast in Oxnard. At the moment his ashes were released, a Stealth fighter
appeared out of the clouds and dipped its wings in a final salute to its creator.
