Folks,
I thought it was a book typical of a journalist, not a real "author", and certainly not of the calibre of Fitz. Somebody has already said it reads like a string of newspaper stories strung together.
His "revealing of the true QANTAS crash history", with the implication that it was hidden, was just plain silly. His "secret crash history revealed", revealed nothing other than he has copied from the appendices of the official (and excellent) QANTAS histories by John Gunn.
Indeed, the DH 86 crash at Longreach was arguably not a "QANTAS" crash, it was an Imperial Airways crew on a delivery flight.
On the safety angle, if you do a bit of homework, the only claim made is that QF have never had a fatal jet accident.
I am glad I was given it as a Christmas present, I would have been pxxxxx off if I had spent those $$$ myself.
Tootle pip!!
