Erebus and the Dragonfly

"Using his wide investigative experience Robin Fautley explores a number of air accidents, mostly in New Zealand, and reveals an often appalling standard of air accident investigation. In this creative and insightful book Fautley examines a range of air accidents, originally spurred on by his teenage scenic flight with Captain Brian Chadwick's de Havilland biplane over the Southern Alps. A key section of the book critiques the Mt. Erebus DC-10 accident, - still the worst aviation accident in the Southern Hemisphere - bringing new insights from considerable pimary research. He critiques the poor air accident report and outlines what amounts to a national fraud by the airline executives and Prime Minister of the day and significant errors of the legal system to aid and abet such injustice."-- Back cover.
