This is one of a series of books that Arthur Hailey wrote that I suppose you could call dramatic thrillers, or something like that.

In this book, Hailey looks at what can happen when a plane that has to land gets into serious trouble, and how that is dealt with on board the aircraft, and also at all levels of the airport management and staff on the ground. ( )

Quite a page-turner in its day. I found the behind-the-scenes action interesting. Very disappointed in the movie - except for Helen Hayes, God love her. ( )
