In both military and civil aviation, the ultimate nightmare is a mid-air collision. Each chapter in MID-AIR is a window through which readers re-live the aerial crisis, the voice transcript (where available), the collision, the subsequent investigation, and the elusive Probable Cause. The author, a former military and commercial pilot, eliminates the fog of aviation jargon. He explains each accident in simple and easy-to-understand layman's terms. This book is a priceless resource for all aviation enthusiasts and professionals.
