Phoenix. I agree with you. Reading "Star Dust Falling", the fatality figures are horrendous.
For every 100 million passenger miles flown by BOAC, 2.3 passengers had died in crashes, all North American carriers averaged 3.78. BSAA's figure was 61.6.
Or put another way, with BOAC, one passenger had died for every 18,900 flown. BSAA was killing one passenger for every 385 that they flew.
I think Don Bennett had a lot to answer for.
Oh, and thanks for the "Stardriver" link. The reason for that is that my airline at the time I put up a sub-name featured stars as part of its logo and callsign.
