Description

MAYDAY examines airline accidents caused by mechanical failure, fire, mid-air collision, terrorist hijacking, and human error. Also, accidents caused by sabotage, suicide, fuel exhaustion, mistaken identity shoot-down, spatial disorientation, bad weather, controlled flight into terrain, and other perils. The author is a former military and commercial pilot. Armed with meticulous research, he cuts through the fog of technical aviation jargon and describes each accident in easy to understand layman's language. For each accident the reader witnesses the aerial crisis, the crash, the "black-box" recordings, the investigation, and the often elusive Probable Cause. Readers re-live the airline accidents which have marred man's conquest of the skies. MAYDAY is a gut-wrenching and mesmerizing read for all Aviation Enthusiasts.
