The mammoth book of air disasters and near misses

The Mammoth Book of Air Disasters and Near Misses by Paul Simpson - Books - Hachette Australia

An incredible 30, flights - at least - arrive safely at their destinations every day. But a handful don't, while some come terrifyingly close to crashing. When even the smallest thing does go wrong at 35, feet, the result is nearly always a fast-unfolding tragedy. This extensive collection of compelling real-life accounts of air disasters and near-disasters provides a sobering, alternative history of the just over years that passengers have been travelling by air, from the very earliest fatality to recent calamities. The book also details the often ingenious, always painstaking work done by air-accident investigators, while a glossary helps to clarify the occasional, inevitable bits of jargon. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.
