This book presents a wonderful story of the growth of Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways. A large number of first hand accounts are cited. The 2 chapters on the investigation of 2 misterious CX accidents are exceptional and movie-like, ie. the crash of a DC-3 in the late 1940s (which is always said to be the first recorded hijack in world history) & the explosion of a Convair 880 over Vietnam in early 1970s. This book is definitely a must for aviation history lovers.
