The Skies Belong to Us

Well researched and well written glimpse into the era of hijackings and one hijacking in particular

Fascinating reminder of how different flying was in the sixties and seventies. The author masterfully weaves together a portrait of those times with vignettes of many specific incidents and a deeper look at one of the more fascinating hijacking stories. Fast and pleasant read, of particular interest to aviation buffs or students of history of those turbulent times. For me, 3 stars is a solid book, while 4 would have required deeper subject matter, which the across-the-board delusional hijackers simply cannot deliver.
