Archimedes said Fascinating and detailed. I love this entire series for its detailed technical descriptions. If you, like me, find the drama in the details of how it happened, this is the best series on plane crashes.Job's other books in this series, on more recent crashes, often tell a story about a more optimized aeronautic system.

Although this volume is listed as the fourth in a series, the author admits it ought to have been the first, covering the period from 1950 to 71, before the total dominance of jets in aviation. Chapters here discuss the crashes of the Lockheed Electra, Boeing Stratocrusier and Vickers Vanguard among others. I found the chapter on the 1956 mid air collision between TWA and United to be especially interesting. It will be clear to the reader very quickly here how much safer planes are today. The propeller craft suffered constant maintenance problems likely to put occupants at risk. In some accide
