<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>On November 24, 1971 a polite, nondescript and dark-complexioned man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked Northwest Airlines Flight 305 between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. At Seattle International Airport, he demanded and received USD 200,000 and four parachutes, released the passengers, and ordered the crew to take him to Mexico. Somewhere on the way, he jumped. He was never found or identified. Forty-five years later, the FBI gave up the hunt. The D B Cooper case is the only unsolved act of air piracy in US history. This book looks at the case from the perspective of a mathematician and pilot. It uses previously unsourced data, combined with statistics, aeronautics and meteorology, to show where and how the FBI could resume the search, and possibly find out at last who D B Cooper really was.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The D.
