Other good books on the subject include Moira Johnston's _The Last Nine Minutes_ (which, being 1976, only discusses the Turkish Airlines Ermenonville crash and the Windsor "incident" which foreshadowed it) and John Nance's _Blind Trust_ (1986, also predating Sioux City). (The latter discusses many other air safety issues and incidents, including the Air Florida crash in Washington, DC in 1982.) _The Sporty Game_ tends to show its age in other areas as well; the dire predictions of market failure for the 747, 757, and 767 have not quite been borne out by intervening events :)
