Cleared for Approach

F. Lee Bailey, a famous criminal defense lawyer, began his career as a pilot in the navy, and worked flying stories into his novel, Secrets. In this book, he combines these specialties. "He dramatically recreates the most horrendous modern aircraft disasters to show what went wrong -- and how such catastrophes could occur again. He describes how big business and government agencies work together--sometimes effevctively, sometimes unsuccessfully--to regulate air safety from assembly line to airport. He relates his own experience in court defending a group of air controllers who blew the lid off one of commercial aviation's most shocking scandals." [jacket blurb]
