Incredibly good book.  I have had the honor of talking at length with the author and heard him speak on the subject on two occasions.  The "Notorious" is indeed a publishers decision toward sales with the book.  I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to get a glimpse at the Byzantine precess that has evolved (mutated is probably a better word) in the US toward high technology aircraft.  He wants more than anything else for people to understand he went into the process without an agenda.  Knowing several of the people in the book they have all said that it is far toward them and the process.


Also I must agree with F-14D.  I have on numerous occasion pointed out that V-22 suffers no more than most other rotorcraft and aircraft in its development woes.  The others just did not have pervasive infosphere to deal with.  Other than wanting to drive up the readiness rate, which is again to be expected for an aircraft at this point in its career the USMC seems pleased.  AFSOC (nominally part of USAF) seems satisfied as well.
