Format:Paperback
I have read parts 1 and 2 prior to receiving part 3. I was expecting more of the same and largely was not disappointed. This volume contains more 'exotic' incidents - an Aeroflot disaster, a China Airlines and several relating to pilots inexperience in handling new technology and focuses mostly on Airbuses rather than Boeing/MD aircraft. I felt the author was struggling a little for content, eg 2 chapters on Fokker Fellowships that crashed on take off due to icing. The previous volumes had standout chapters that were worth the price on their own such as the Tenerife and JAL disasters.. This volume doesn't really have that. The best for me was the Russian captain who let his son fly the plane and didn't realise that it was going to crash until too late.. Overall, a good read. Same format, including the Matthew Tesch artwork, but for me at least, not as gripping a read..

Interesting volume 1 Sep 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Unlike some of the others to review this book, I have read quite widely on this subject before and am therefore familiar with some of the better-known catastrophes.

For this reason I found this book most interesting. Though some of the incidents covered were in the Far East and did not get such widespread media coverage in the west, this does not detract from their significance. I had no idea what lay behind the accident at Habsheim before reading this.

The book is easily understandable from a layman's point of view and sympathetically but factually written. No scare mongering is attempted, just factual reporting from which you can draw your own conclusions. The illustrations are very well done and help clarify what can be difficult concepts.

Recommended.

The master at work. 6 July 2009
Format:Paperback
This guy is just brilliant when it comes to putting an airline crash back together again. His background info and delivery is wonderful. You come away really understanding what went wrong and what happened. The guy is a master at presenting the facts for you to digest.
