"Jet airliner operations in the U.S. began in 1958, but almost immediately the new aircraft created new problems as they solved old ones. This book discusses five disasters or near-disasters of the early Jet Age, experiences which shook the industry, regulators and public out of complacency and helped build a foundation for safer air transportation"--Provided by publisher.
