Book excerpt: We were at twenty-five thousand feet about 125 miles from our takeoff base back at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The cockpit instrument panel looked like something you might have seen at an arcade. The red fire lights for the right side engines were flashing, the RPM gauges were spinning, the hydraulic overheat lights down by my right leg were illuminated, the oil pressure gauges for the two right engines were rolling back towards zero, and the fuel quantity indicators were falling fast. We had only five parachutes on board and there were twelve of us. A true story, William Hanson relates his life as a pilot and the one major event in his life that brought down his career. The events found in this book bring to question the facts that surround the case of his court martial. Was the accidental offense enough to bring to a military trial? Were there forces at work to prevent Bil Hanson from ever explaining his side fully and fairly? Find all the facts in this book and see a different perspective of the events that unfolded. See for yourself the different perspectives of the Saudi Arabian accident that would forever change the life of a young and upcoming pilot.
