The author is a pilot with twenty years professional flying experience, and in this book he concludes that commercial aviation is a much more perilous means of transportation than is generally suspected. He takes the reader on spine-tingling reconstructions of disasters, and reveals the often shocking truth of what really went wrong (as opposed to some newspaper reports.)
