Air Disasters

The fouth installment in this incredibly popular series provides aviation enthusiasts with in-depth analyses, accident-scene photography and specially commissioned artwork that examine news-making civil aviation accidents. Written in a narrative style, this volume departs from its predecessors by focusing on major propliner accidents of the 1950s and '60s-a subject which has seldom been addressed in book form. All of the accidents discussed are accompanied by the official investigations and the conclusions of the examiners involved. The author also explains how the accidents instigated significant changes in civil aviation and routine safety procedures.Paperback, 8-1/2 x 11, 192 pp, 200 b/w
