Revelling modern-day Antarctic discoverers closeted in the luxurious pressurised cocoon of one of the world's most sophisticated jetliners, crowded the windows to capture glimpses through the murky cloud of the icy wonderland they'd travelled 3000 miles to see. On 28 November 1979 the Air New Zealand Flight 901 sightseeing excursion ended in tragedy, a few miles from the New Zealand and United States scientific stations of ScottBase and McMurdo. All passengers and crew members died instantly in this the Antarctic's and New Zealand's worst disaster. It was also a crushing blow to the DC10 - the third major calamity for the McDonnell Douglas jet in six months. To that date, it was the world's fourth worst aircraft fatality... This 1980 Whitcoulls Hardback is in good condition. Dust jacket rubbed.
