Though nearly everyone has heard of it, almost no one has known anything about it - until now. Located in the remote Nevada desert near the dry bed of Groom Lake, Area 51 is the most famous military installation in the world that doesn't officially exist. In Area 51, author Dwight Zimmerman and artist Greg Scott unravel the real history, minus the aliens and sci-fi movie plots, revealing in detail how for more than 60 years, the CIA, the U.S. Air Force, and aerospace company Lockheed Martin have all used Area 51 as a staging ground for test flights of experimental or highly classified aircrafts. This first-of-its-kind graphic history strips away the fantastical aspects of this mysterious location and establishes the actual, significant history made there.
