The definitive book on the “Titantic of aviation accidents”: a state-of-the-art jet that couldn’t stall, until it did and took the lives of 228 Air France passengers. Based on exclusive interviews with the aircraft’s manufacturer, the airline, light crews, families of the pilots, accident investigators, and the Woods Hole led team that recovered the missing jet from the bottom of the South Atlantic, this essential book documents why airlines and regulators everywhere must respond now to critical lessons learned from this legendary event.

Angle of Attack perfectly documents the fundamental disconnect between obsolete safety management systems and the missing hands-on training required to give light crews the resilience they need to handle unexpected crises beyond their experience.

Roger Rapoport is the author of Citizen Moore and contributing editor at Flight Safety Information and Captain Shem Malmquist, veteran accident investigator, veteran 777 pilot and visiting professor at Florida Institute of Technology and I have been covering this issue for ten years.
