This study of the Boeing 737 airliner focuses on US Airways Flight 427, which crashed in March 1994, near Pittsburgh, killing all 132 aboard. The author relates how that crash kicked off years of painstaking research by the NTSB, the FAA, and Boeing that finally uncovered a minor, yet lethal flaw that had been designed into the aircraft.

From the publisher

The main differentiating quality of this book is that it portrays the complex interaction of different experts and opposing interests in investigating and solving the mystery of this single crash, and the recurrent problem that plagued the Boeing 737, the world's most successful and safest airliner.

First line

What most people fondly suppose to be a smooth, broad, steady stream of moving air is, in fact, no such thing.
