Not all the flights are "mysterious" ones; although there is a good assortment of them. If you've read a decent amount on the subject; you're going to find many of the "usual suspects" show up - Amelia Earhart; Major Glenn Miller; DB Cooper (although technically that flight did land); and the Avengers of Flight 19.Other flights include the Red Baron's last flight; JFK Jr; the Challenger disaster; a Swedish attempt to balloon to the North Pole; Flight 93 on September 11; the DC-3 shootdown that killed Leslie Howard; the soccer team in the Andes (subject of Alive); Eastern Airlines Flight 401; a Liberator that crashed in the African desert; and MH 370.The author limits himself to published materials; so if you've read about any of these; there's not new material. Some of the flights I was not familiar with. The writing is solid; and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's just starting their interest in the subject - or who just can't resist one more book about flights that never came home.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating real life mysteriesBy W. J. MageeThis is a fascinating read. As the author explains; it does not offer any new information or discoveries. It does however provide a cornucopia of known; but seldom reported; details regarding each flight. These details coupled with other people's "expert" opinions can lead you to draw what may be a best case scenario as to what "likely" happened or what "likely" was the best contributing factor to each tragic event.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
