Yup! My stupid poly-sci textbook (college level!) was written by pinkos, so
there was a nice article about how inept the military is because they
couldn't keep top-secret designs out of the hands of toy-makers (referencing
the Testors "teardrop" shaped "F-19 Stealth Fighter", which Microprose
promptly copied for it's computer game).


I have a book at home about stealth technology - apparently the F-19 design
was a complete fake; it wasn't a stealthy design, and was created as a ruse
to fool the press.

It had a fairly large RCS, and would have used afterburning engines.

But F-19 Stealth Fighter was still a cool game )
