Frank Murray is a former U.S. Air Force pilot who is best known for his involvement in flying the A-12 aircraft during the 1960s. The A-12, also known as the Archangel 12, was a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed for the CIA as part of the OXCART program. It was a predecessor to the SR-71 Blackbird, and it was designed for deep reconnaissance missions over hostile territory. Frank Murray's role as an A-12 pilot was part of the highly secretive and classified operations associated with the aircraft. He was one of the few pilots to fly this advanced and experimental aircraft, which required extensive training and a unique set of skills due to the A-12's advanced capabilities and its highly classified nature. The A-12 program was extremely secretive, and the identities of many individuals involved were not publicly known for many years. Frank Murray, like other pilots associated with the A-12, was part of a select group of aviators who contributed to the success of the program. His work was integral in the testing and operational deployment of the A-12. Due to the classified nature of the A-12 missions, much of the detailed history about Frank Murray's exact role and contributions to the program remain limited in the public domain. However, he is recognized as one of the key figures in the history of American reconnaissance.
