Product Description
Sixty fascinating narratives
ranging from the disappearance of Amelia Earhart
to 9/11 to Air France AF447
(essential background knowledge for flyers)
Shows how intriguing air accident investigation can be with many lessons for those passionately interested in aviation:
The accurate details the author painstakingly assembled make it a truly valuable reference for all the "classic" international jet accidents. It reads beautifully, with excellent and clear expression avoiding the tiresome clichés that unfortunately so often mar a book on this fascinating subject.
-- Macarthur Job OAM, Aviation Writer and Air Safety Consultant
Like detective stories, this compendium of incidents—interestingly presented according to type of incident—also appeals to a wider public:
I got AIR CRASHES AND MIRACLE LANDINGS for my brother-in-law. He works in the aviation industry and said it was great. My sister isn't, and has never shown any interest in such things, and even she liked it. Who'd have thought?! A great “What did it?”
