5.0 out of 5 stars
Very enjoyable,
This review is from: Mayday! Mayday!: Aircraft Crashes In The Great Smoky Mtn Nat Park, 1920- (Paperback)
I just finished the book, and I enjoyed it very much. I live near the Smokies, and I am a licensed pilot, so the topic naturally appealed to me. The stories are broken down by decades, then individual incidents, so you can read it in short snippets if time is a premium.
Most of all, the book confirms what pilots who study aircraft crashes should already know. Continued VFR flight into IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) is a killer. The stories of the searches are real life adventures with real life endings. Sometimes they turned out well, other times, not so well. Nevertheless, each incident has its own story, and they are all compelling. Some were even amusing. This will be a very enjoyable book for anyone interested in aviation, accident investigation (and prevention!) or an interest in the Smoky Mountains

Mayday author review,
By Jeff Wadley (Maryville, TN. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mayday! Mayday!: Aircraft Crashes In The Great Smoky Mtn Nat Park, 1920- (Paperback)
As the author of Mayday! Mayday! I wanted to give pilots a warning regarding safety flying over the Smokies. We also wanted to offer the book as a text for SAR teams and thirdly to present this small slice of Smoky Mtn. history.
