"The history of aviation is full of mysteries and legends, but the variety in Steven Ruffin's book will surprise even some long-time students of the genre. From a French balloon in 1785 to Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 in 2014, the author addresses familiar topics such as the death of Manfred von Richthofen, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, and the "devil's triangle" mystery of the U.S. Navy's Flight 19. Most of the legendary tales are bound to remain unresolved, including D.B. Cooper's airliner hijacking in 1971, while famed band leader Glenn Miller's WW II disappearance is more plausibly explained. In all, an entertaining and informative anthology for buffs and historians alike." - Barrett Tillman, Author of Forgotten Fifteenth: the Daring Airmen Who Crippled Hitler's War Machine
