The human factor in aircraft accidents.

Description:

A scholarly exposition by a very experienced airline captain of the psychological factors and pressures which can mislead pilots and lead to air accidents. Although it dates from the start of the modern era of aviation i.e. the late 1960s , nearly all of it is just as useful now as it was then . About the only defect is that the examples given tend to become rather repetitious
