Thumbs up

I have written a book and it is in the final edit stage. It is being published by Pacos’ Electrocution publishing house. The book has only one chapter dealing with helicopters and it describes how a major helicopter manufacturer lied their way out of a wrongful death suit. A US Navy helicopter crashed killing the three-man crew. The Navy determined that a critical part had not been installed causing a tail rotor failure. The company insisted the part had been installed but the Navy investigators did not believe them.

The other chapters deal with man caused missile explosions and commercial aircraft crashes and their causes as well as how the crashes could have been prevented. An interesting read if I do say so myself. I will send a copy to Heliport for review and comment.
