D.b. Cooper, a mysterious figure in american folklore, gained notoriety for hijacking a boeing 727 aircraft in 1971. After extorting a hefty ransom, he parachuted out over the pacific northwest, never to be conclusively identified or captured. The case remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in aviation history, sparking numerous theories and cultural references over the years. Cooper's daring heist and subsequent disappearance have cemented his status as a legendary figure shrouded in mystery.
In addition, two independent research groups have presented compelling suspects in the case, and have backed their announcements with a media blitz that has included two documentaries, several books, and a lawsuit against the fbi.
Further, cliff ammerman, the air traffic controller who actually monitored the flight when cooper jumped, has finally been interviewed, resulting in original and critical perspectives on the flight path and potential landing zones.
All of these aspects are discussed in detail in the 3rd edition, along with many new photographs and maps, new and exclusive interviews with several passengers, and a full chapter on the fingerprints recovered from cooper's plane, which is a dimension of the case not discussed substantively in any other book on db cooper.
America is a land of mysteries. What do a mild mannered grocery store manager and the infamous skyjacker d.b. Cooper have in common? How can an entire aircraft and its two occupants just vanish into thin air while flying over a populated area? What happened to an old freighter that keeps it hidden for nearly a century, even after half its crew drifted back to their homes dead?
