Produktbeschreibung
The Crash Of MH370 may well be one those ground breaking accidents that change our way of thinking. The paperback version of the Kindle bestseller, this book is an analysis of the mystery that is the missing Malaysian Airlines 777, and one of the first to be published after the search concluded. Unlike previous books about the ghost plane written by well-meaning amateur pilots and journalists, the author is an industry insider; an A380 captain with similar experience to the missing pilot. It examines the facts, who's who, the flight and search. The latter half dispels the various theories, provides the author's best guess as to what happened and delivers a list of thirteen urgent recommendations for the industry. Rarely do we hear from people within this industry. From pilots and air traffic controllers to crash investigators, their employment contracts stipulate: no media. That James Nixon has chosen to publish this book within months of his retirement means we are given a rare chance to peek behind the cockpit door.

James Nixon has just retired at the top of his industry as an A380 Captain after flying for more than 30 years. His credits include 18,000 flight hours and flying both Boeing and Airbus airliners since 1992. Prior to becoming a pilot he was a small businessman, freelance writer and photographer for eight years. James has won two awards for his part in a light plane rescue and his extensive career has involved working on industry committees and consulting groups. He has been based with airlines in Australia, Malta, the U.K., Vietnam, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. An avid writer and photographer, James Nixon is author of three other books: "On Tour : Travels With An Airline Pilot", 1430 photographs and stories from behind the cockpit door. " ... And That's My Side of the Story", a memoir to the crew of an Airbus which suffered an inflight engine failure, and "Sleeping For Pilots & Cabin Crew (And Other Insomniacs)", a kindle best-seller which examines the twenty factors affecting sleep and the tips & tricks to enable you to sleep whenever you want. Since 1997 he has been running www.jamesnixon.com, a website specializing in photo-journalism which has been a valuable resource for those interested in aviation safety. After the collapse of Ansett Australia James ran the AnsettSTARS website, a resource-rich repository that helped employees as they faced an uncertain future. Since retiring he started CrammondMEDIA to administer his media projects; and has been active on the media in Australia.
