Description

51 Lessons from the Sky is a collection of true accounts from US Air Force pilots and crew who survived potentially catastrophic incidents. The stories are introduced by Colonel Tom Henricks, a former USAF Test Pilot, Shuttle Pilot, and Shuttle Commander.

The book covers 51 unique military aircraft, including fighter jets, transport planes, and helicopters, and includes declassified stories about the Special Operations Squadron, various squadrons, and other units. The stories reveal common causes of accidents, such as complacency, maintenance issues, poor planning, limitations, and fatigue.

These easy-to-read true accounts offer valuable insights into the risks and challenges faced by military pilots and crew, and provide a unique perspective on the world of aviation and space exploration.
