As far as I am concerned, Macarthur Job is a living legand!

I have the first three of his "Air Disaster" series of books which cover the important accidents that changed the way things were done in the jet-age airline industry. (Not meaning to trivialise any airline accident that is not mentioned in the books of course but there are some that had a profound effect on the industry.)

It's not just what he writes (absolutely thorough research into every minute detail) it's how he writes it (almost like a thriller novel at times) that keeps you wanting to read on. Plus the diagrams that accompany the text are just amazing.

I learned so many essential lessons by reading these three books. They should be compulsory reading for anyone involved in the airline industry, including management.

ISBN 1-875671-11-0 (Volume 1)
ISBN 1-875671-34-X (Volume 2)
ISBN 1-875671-19-6 (Volume 3)

I can't recommend them highly enough.

Thank you Mr Job.
