Omschrijving
On Thanksgiving Eve 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle, ordered a bourbon and soda, and calmly handed the stewardess a note claiming he had a bomb in his briefcase. What followed is the only unsolved air piracy case in commercial aviation history.
"The Skyjacker's Ghost" dissects the legend of D.B. Cooper, the polite criminal who ransomed a plane for $200,000, demanded four parachutes, and then jumped into the freezing rain over the Washington wilderness, never to be seen again. Was he a genius daredevil who escaped to a tropical island, or a desperate amateur who died on impact in the dense forest?
This book explores the thousands of FBI files, the discovery of rotting cash on a riverbank years later, and the fascinating lineup of suspects—from special forces veterans to transgender mechanics. It goes beyond the facts to examine why Cooper became an American folk hero, a symbol of anti-establishment rebellion who beat the system and vanished into thin air without hurting a soul.
