DESCRIPTION:
"Unfortunately disappointing" according to Aviation Prof. I was immediately drawn to Ray Holanda's 'History of Aviation Safety' and its description as the first book "that tells the story of the history of aviation safety from its origins to the present day" [back cover]. I think the industry needs a book to address this gap and I really wanted to like it for this reason. But there were simply too many shortcomings.I suspected t. "THE Classic on History of Aviation Safety" according to Gail A. Dunham. Holanda brings a lifetime of knowledge and experience to writing this book, and it is excellent. I learned so much about the early days of aviation, and landmark events that moved safety forward. Thank you Ray Holanda!

A common theme appears throughout this history: a technological solution is already available to solve a safety problem before it is implemented into the safety system. This book also tells the story of aviation safety in the early years of flight, including the era of the Wright brothers, the period of the barnstormers, and the development of the U.S. air mail system, which laid the foundation for the U.S. airline system. This book features the story of the United States airline system aviation safety history from its beginnings in 1926 to the present day. Significant episodes in the history of aviation safety
