Rough Landing or Fatal Flight

A history of aircraft accidents on, over and around the Isle of Man

By Steve Poole

This book is the outcome of many years of detailed research into aircraft crashes on and around the Isle of Man. The number and nature of the crashes will surprise many, for others it will be a re-awakening of old memories.
Through access to public and private records and the statements of witnesses and survivors, the author cross references all the available data to build up as accurate an account as possible of each individual crash. The details cover the background of the aircraft and crew leading up to the crash and its aftermath. For the very first time the true details are revealed of the hundreds of aircraft crashes that have occurred on the Island, the author covers everything from Rough Landings or Fatal Flights.
Laid out in chronological order, from the end of the First World War up to recent times, and superbly illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, this is the untold story of aviation history on the Isle of Man.
148 pages, 272 x 210mm - 128 black and white photographs
