| | The fascinating work of the accident investigator is explored in this enthralling and best selling book. By using 12 case studies of famous air disasters, which happened between 1930 and 1985, we see how the investigators piece together the moments before the crash to discover the exact cause in the hope of preventing it from happening again. Not concerned solely with the failure of the planes themselves Stanley Stewart has made this an intimate portrait of the bravery of some remarkable people. Contents:
