- Karl> Probably the best general interest discussion of the DC-10 and

- 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 :)
