Industry insiders James Walters and Robert Sumwalt, trained aviation accident investigators and commercial airline pilots, offer expert analyses of notable and recent aircraft accidents in this eye-opening, lesson-filled case file.

- Major accidents from commercial, military, and general aviation flights
- Pilot backgrounds and flight histories
- Chronology of events leading to each accident
- Description of aviation investigation process
- Insight into NTSB, military, and foreign government findings
- Resulting recommendations, requirements, and policy changes
- Preview summaries of accidents too recent for final reports are also highlighted.
Readable, authoritative, and complete, "Aircraft Accident Analysis: Final Reports" is at once an important reference tool and a riveting, what-went-wrong look at air safety for everyone who flies.
