I decided to read this book because someone very dear to me died on the Gander flight. This year marks his 60th birthday and I decided to finally delve into the many theories surrounding what happened on that God forsaken morning in Dec 12, 1985.
Mr. Filotas crafted a book highly the opposite of what I expected. It is a matter of fact, dry read which made it easy for me to read quickly.
His countless comparisons to other crashes and malfunctions at first threw me a bit, after all, I was looking for Gander details.
However, within a few pages, I saw the crucial importance of his doing so.
He writes well and gives the reader solid, no frills information which allowed me to really grasp the inner workings of large planes such as the one our soldiers were coming home in.
I highly recommend this book. It is definitely not what I was expecting to read and I'm glad Mr. Filotas took the time to not only compile Gander crash info but also educate the reader.
