I hope it's OK to ask on this forum?
I am trying to trace the title of a novel, I think from the 1970's.
As far as I remember the plot is about an investigation into a midair collision, it may even be a trial. The main thread is that one of the pilots is alleged to have used out of date ATIS information, I think leading to incorrect altimeter setting and thus causing the collision.
He is eventually proved innocent due to a tape recording of the ATIS broadcast being played in court which had somehow malfunctioned and given wrong data?
I am pretty certain it was a British novel. Does anyone know this, many thanx!
