Book description
Emergency is a collection of true stories about events where
disaster seems imminent. Yet each situation is concluded without loss
of life thanks to the skill of the pilots and their crews, whose
bravery and resourcefulness have earned them well-deserved
commendations. Written by a British Airways First Officer, Stanley
Stewart, who has spoken at first hand with the pilots and crews
involved in all the incidents recorded here, the book offers a unique
insight into what really happened: not the passengers eye-view, which
in many cases is already documented, but the view from the flight deck
of the aircraft itself.
Stanley Stewart has flown for over thirty-five years and operated
heavy jets for British Airways for thirty years. A graduate engineer,
747 pilot and aviation writer, he is uniquely qualified to write on
aviation matters.
