Barlay, Stephen - Aircrash Detective: the Quest for Aviation Safety: An International Report

Hamish Hamilton, London, 1969. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. 9780241015087 The aim of this book is to show how investigators of aircraft accidents work, and how they contribute to the present high level of aviation safety. Therefore the cases which are mentioned briefly or dealt with in detail have been selected merely to serve the above purpose as representative examples of various aspects of investigation. It is meant to imply no criticism of performance that mishaps of some airlines, aircraft types or countries have more frequently been referred to than those of others. This is in no way to compare their safety for, in fact, some of the more notorious ones may have not even been mentioned while the frank and open cooperation of some of the best helped greatly to produce the most revealing examples.
