Air Disaster 1 looks at the major aviation disasters of the jet age covering 1952 to 1977, from the early Comet, 707, Caravelle and Trident days through to the era of the widebody long range jetliner.Each chapter on each accident is a highly involved detective story in itself, one the reader lives through as if you were intimately involved with the outcome.Air Disaster 1 begins with the incredible story of the Comet mysteries where aeronautical engineers learnt that metal structures and pressurisation were indeed a new art, and follows on to investigate the TriStar which descended into the Everglades at night while its crew fumbled about on the cockpit floor, the early problems with the DC10's cargo door, and the horrific 747 collision at Tenerife.Some others may come as a surprise the fate that awaited the Caravelle whose crew used its engines to clear fog from the runway for takeoff, and the DC9 caught in the wake turbulence of a DC10.Each of the 18 accidents has been carefully selected to present a different facet of the problems facing the jet age, together with the answers that were found to them different, rarely straightforward and uncovered only as a result of lengthy, dedicated, and painstaking investigation.Of 186 pages, Air Disaster Vol 1 makes compelling reading and is backed up with the excellent descriptive artwork, diagrams and maps of Matthew Tesch.
