    Aviation disasters in relation to innovation and new challenges
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2021*

This is an extremely well written book, not only discussing several early jet age disasters, but about some of the people involved. In chapter nine, Extraordinary Lives, the author tells the story of three significant people aboard Eastern Airlines Flight 304, Grant Newby, Marie-Helene Lefaucheux, and Kenneth Lee Spencer.It is also a story of innovation. Jet airliners like the Boeing 707 and 720, the Douglas DC-8, and the BAC One-11 were all cutting edge aircraft in the late 1950s and 1960s.With new innovations there came new challenges. Suddenly these jets were breaking up and falling out of the sky in and around thunderstorms! Even experienced pilots seemed unable to prevent some of these accidents.The author then introduces us to one Tetsuya Fujita. I knew about the man because I studied meteorology back in the 1980s.The book is not overly technical and easily keeps your attention. I recommend it to anybody who is an aviation enthusiast, meteorology students or enthusiasts, and aviation historians.I grew up in Southeast Nebraska and vaguely remember hearing stories of Braniff Flight 250. In the early 1970s my family had an encounter with a severe downdraft in a thunderstorm while flying aboard a Frontier Convair 580 Turboprop on a flight to Joplin, Missouri. That’s the old Frontier Airlines.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An excellent study
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 4, 2020*

This is a sad but excellent study of several Airline crashes from the early days of commercial jet airline service. The outcome of these collisions ultimately lead America's commercial airline industry to a much better understanding of the dangers of severe turbulence during Airline flight.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Why it happened how you and I are safer today.
  

*by S***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2020*

Good read for AvGeeks. Old accident, but provides insights into how airline safety has evolved as well as the impact such a tragedy has on the people and communities affected.
