We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Blackbird. We hope that they will be useful to you.

Note: When we started collecting data about Blackbird, we were inconsistent about keeping track of where that data came from. As a result, this list of references and mentions is probably incomplete.
