THE MANY PERILS OF FLIGHT,
By
This review is from: Flights to Disaster (Hardcover)
Chapters in this book are organized by the cause of disaster. There is a chapter on mid air collision, one on fire and one on pilot error, just to name a few. The author focuses on a few accidents, and on how and why they happened. The Challenger shuttle disaster and the Iran airbus shootdown are each given a chapter to themselves.
Some of the stories are actually funny; one military plane crashed because the pilots left the controls to 'moon' the occupants of another aircraft. But for the most part this is a rather dull read, with little to grab the reader's attention. This book is part of a series, so not having read the others I feel I may have missed something, but I think it unlikely the others are much better. |
