It is also the untold saga of how one maverick scientist battled the bureaucracy to save lives.Federal officials hired him to prevent an anticipated bloodbath from airline deregulation. Congress and other important organizations have often sought his advice on civil and military aviation problems.. They then ignored his other programs, which contributed to countless unnecessary deaths -- including JFK Junior’s.Becoming a military safety guru, his important tasks included training Air Force One crews, and going undercover to discover why a mysterious Soviet airliner crash killed an African president.But he was fired for blowing the whistle on the Pentagon cover-up of the worst fratricide since Vietnam
"Self Aggrandizing Author" according to BP110. A three was the most I could muster for this book. The author continually wrote about his accomplishments and awards. Nobody needs to see pictures of your awards and letters from your personnel file. Maybe more science and less self-aggrandizing will improve this book.. "Fascinating read." according to Mark Lunday. If you enjoy Air Emergency, this book will keep you up late at night.. Five Stars Great book for aviation safety enthusiasts.
