<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>THIS EXPANDED SECOND EDITION Now has 85 accounts, some short, some long, with hard-hitting analyses, ranging from the disappearance of Amelia Earhart to that of Malaysian Airlines MH370, not forgetting the imbroglio of Air France AF447. As before, each chapter covers a specific type of incident in chronological order. Many books in one.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book is unique in that it covers almost ALL the "classic" air disasters and other incidents that led to flying becoming so safe today. It highlights the human factors that often get overlooked, or in some cases such as the crash of Air France Flight AF447 into the South Atlantic that investigators did not dare mention. That said, it also brings to life incidents where pilots through great airmanship saved their passengers, sometimes later finding themselves subject to PTSD.</p><p>Many will remember the incidents, but not know what really happened as it can take two or three years for the truth to be determined and the wild speculation at the time often shown to be wrong.</p><p>Aficionados of excellent TV series, called <em>Air </em><em>Crash Investigations </em>on the National Geographic Channel, and <em>MAYDAY </em> on some others, will find it a valuable tool and one providing added insights. It is several books in one, but thanks to the layout with each chapter covering a particular type of incident it is easy to follow, and dip into. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"Congratulation Christopher.</em><br /> <em>Air Crashes and Miracle Landings </em><em>is a great resource for every pilot</em><br /> <em>who wants a clear summary of </em><em>the Whats, Hows and Whys</em><br /> <em>behind the key aviation accidents.</em><br /> <em>This book should be part of </em><em>Human Factors and Crew Resource</em><br /> <em>Management training."</em><br /> <strong>-- <em>Richard de Crespigny, <br /> captain of Qantas QF32</em></strong></p><p>Mr Bartlett has taken over the mantle of the late, great MacArthur Job, as an aviation writer of undoubted excellence.<br /> His book covers many, many accidents, both well known and obscure, in just the right amount of detail to remain fascinating.<br /> <strong>-- Andy, <br /> <em>Professional reviewer</em></strong> <br /> </p><br>
