This fascinating story explains how aviation crashes are
investigated, and what goes on behind the scenes to improve
safety. 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. He soon introduced
innovations, such as Crew Resource Management
training, which dramatically reduced airline accidents.
However, when he dared expose lies to Congress, officials
used the sky marshals to harass him. 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. Congress and
other important organizations have
often sought his advice on civil and military aviation
problems.
