What is Air Disaster 2: The Jet Age about?
Jet travel shrank the world. Planes could fly faster, further and at higher altitude; opening the door to foreign holidays to the masses. But, it came at a price. In the early days this new advanced era of aviation faced multiple unforeseen problems, resulting in catastrophic accidents and inevitably the loss of human lives.From the first jetliner, the ill-fated Comet, to an horrific Boeing 747 mid-air collision at Tenerife, award-winning Macarthur Job – one of the world’s foremost aviation writers, and himself a pilot - tells the stories and unpicks the causes of eighteen fateful air disasters.Based on accident reports and extensive research he reveals how these calamities led to the development of the safest and most reliable form of transport in the world.Illustrated with photographs and technical drawings by aviation artist Matthew Tesch, 'Air Disaster 2: The Jet Age' covers the period between 1952 and 1977.Other books in the series:Air Disaster 1: The Propeller EraAir Disaster 3: Terror In The Sky
