Flights of Terror: Aerial hijack and sabotage since 1930 (2nd Edition)

Terrorism is a real threat to aviation. The thought of a ticking bomb hidden in a suitcase, or a gun or knife-wielding assailant commandeering a commercial flight, is enough to scare even the most seasoned air traveller. Since the first edition of this ground-breaking book was published in 1997, much new evidence has come to light on a number of the hijackings described, and more have taken place since. In this fully revised and updated second edition, David Gero includes the latest information on historic hijackings in all parts of the globe, and a new chapter on the cataclysmic events of 9/11.
