Lauda Air Boeing 767-3Z9ER OE-LAV Wolfgang Mozart -May 26, 1991 THE LESSONS OF THE JET AGE The fascinating, ongoing story of how international passenger jet flying developed through repeated tragedy to become safer than everyday life! . AIR DISASTER In two more unique and exciting volumes by Air Safety specialist, Macarthur Job Air Disaster, Volume 2, continues the theme established in Volume l, examining the way the unforeseen hazards of jet age aviation progressively came to light through costly real world experience - often with an inevitable toll in tragedy and human lives. Yet for all their grim, spectacular consequences, these harsh lessons have helped to evolve a global transport system on a scale beyond anything the world has ever seen, and at a level of safety that statistically surpasses even the normal hazards of everyday life. As this volume goes to press, the world's rightful confidence in airline travel is underlined by two major jet age anniversaries: twenty years of accident free revenue flying by the world's only supersonic airliner, the Concorde; and a quarter of a Century of operations by that epoch making "conventional" jet, the süperb Boeing 747, whose advent in 1970 changed the face of the world, bringing international travel within reach of millions for whom it had previously been utterly unaffordable. Yet for all these quite astonishing technical successes, and the overall Standards of safety they have achieved, the art and science of advanced aeronautics and their associated technologies are not yet fully perfected. This book examines instances in which flying conditions were so adverse that accepted aviation wisdom, even after so many years and countless thousands of flying hours, was shown to be lacking. The fate of a DC-9 en route to Atlanta in April 1977, a Boeing 727 taking off from New Orleans in Jury, 1982, and a Boeing 747 which flew into a cloud of volcanic dust over the Timor Sea in June of the same year, all further attest to the truth so clearly speit out in Volume l, that air safety Standards are won at a price. Nor has the complex relationship between technological progress and expertise on the one hand, and human frailty on the other, been fully resolved. In aviation, perhaps more so than in other fields of human endeavour, mankind remains äs rauch a victim of himself äs of the elements around him. It is ironic that while one facet of the world airline industry was operating supersonic aircraft designed to Stretch 30cm in length äs a result of atmospheric frictional heating at Mach 2 airspeeds, another was "saving" time and effort by using a forklift to change the wing engines of a widebodied trijet - with fatal consequences to all on board a DC-10 at Chicago in May 1979. Other tragedies examined in this book, in which human failings negated state-of-the-art technology in either flying operations or engineering maintenance, teil of similar contradictions. Volume l of this widely acclaimed work covered 18 representative operational lessons from the first quarter Century of jet airline flying, concluding with the greatest civil aviation disaster the world has ever witnessed - the horrific runway collision between two heavily laden Boeing 747s at Tenerife. In this second volume, covering the years 1977 to 1991, specialist air safety author Macarthur Job and noted aviation artist Matthew Tesch continue their collaborative efforts, combining their skills and flying experiences to provide detailed, lucid analyses of the stories behind a further 14 significant jet airline disasters - and one amazing near tragedy. Based primarily on official investigation reports, supplemented by extensive external research, each of these events has been carefully selected to exemplify the problems encountered, both operational and human, äs jet airline flying moved into its second quarter Century. Liberally complemented with photographs and diagrams, Air Disaster, Volume 2, continues the unique style set in Volume l, with many specially drawn diagrams and explanatory graphics. Clear and accurate, they blend actual piloting experience with artistic skill to enable readers to properly visualise the compelling events related in the text. Air Disaster, Volume 2, covering the period from 1977 to 1991, is a further superb product of collaboration between publisher, writer and Illustrator. 218 p. many photos an illustrations.…
