Fedex book
 
What is the title of the book that details the DC10 hijacking?

Thanks.

"Hijacked, the true story of the heros of flight 705" by Dave Hirshman, who I believe is a reporter, or ex reporter, of the Commercial Appeal. I remember sitting in a crashpad, read the whole thing in about 30 hours, good book.

Dave was a reporter for the Commercial Appeal, but is working for the Atlanta Journal Constitution now.

When it was published, the three pilots and the author gave a talk at the FAA pavilion at Oshkosh, complete with slides of the cockpit after the flight.

500 people in the audience, and you could have heard a pin drop.....

I met Jim Tucker in Las Vegas this past December @ ICAS. A true hero! It was awe inspiring to listen to his story.

I read that book in less than a day. It is a very easy read, you will fly through it. Amazing story.
