    About this ebook

    From Catch Me if You Can to the Zambian attempt to join the Space Race using a 40-gallon oil drum, this amusing collection of stories seeks to present the pick of the many scams and scandals that have plagued the aviation industry (but amused everyone else!) over the years. With a foreword by airhostess comedienne Pam Ann, this book includes hilarious-but-true accounts of drug smuggling, pilots that were not all they seemed, wrong destinations, missing planes and an account of the only unsolved US airline hijacking in history. So whether you’re after a funny story, some aviation anecdotes or just love having a laugh at the wacky side of aviation history, this book is for you.
