0312029195 / 9780312029197 Good.
Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1989 St. Martin's Press. Clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Noticeable average wear. 263pp. Language: English. '[F]actual, hair-raising account of a 1983 Air Canada Boeing 767 that, due to a maintenance man's mathematical error in fueling and a fuel system computer malfunction, ran out of fuel and immediately lost all electrical power while in flight at a height of 41,000 feet. Captain Bob Pearson received many accolades for successfully landing the plane at an abandoned Canadian Air Force Base. The journalist authors tell the story of the 29-minute glide and the gripping real-life terror from the perspectives of the pilot, crew, air traffic controllers, and passengers. The book is well-written and has an excellent postscript which discusses the lengthy investigation, the issue of assigning blame, and the subsequent modifications made to procedures, checklists, and equipment....'--William A. McIntyre, Library Journal, 1989.
