How possibly could the "Ghost Story Junkie" resist a title like this? It had a supernatural element along a really great story based on some truths and some things entirely from the imagination of the author. Sometimes it was difficult to tell them apart. I have always been fascinated with the history of this great vessel and how she met her fate...this story uses those facts but adds a delicious element of pure terror. The story starts with the 1975 expedition, one which ended in tragedy in very unusual circumstances. This is based on documented facts. It continues 18 years later with the sole surviving member of that original crew and adds some new characters all with the same purpose...find the treasure...and they get the same response...something says, "Go Away". The message is delivered in the strongest and most deadly terms possible. The story is fun while also being a little fanciful...but as I said there is an element of truth woven throughout. It’s really not hard to imagine that the Titanic is a haunted ship...but exactly what forms the haunting takes? That is what makes this story so haunting, and terror filled as well as making it interesting for lack of a better word. Ask yourself just what would it be like to search a wreck where more than 1,500 people died? Being on the bottom of the sea just adds to the atmosphere. What spirits would haunt those old staterooms? What wants the living gone? Well...here’s your chance to find out.… (mere)

Story of one our commercial aviation pioneers, and the story of a fledgling airline in the southwest that became one of the most admired organizations in our country. Since Continental Airlines disappeared into United Airlines, it behooves any airline history enthusiast to add this book to his/her library...a driven man leading his airline from one small mail contract into a large regional carrier without the advantage of a cross-country, volume generating route system.

SEE: The electra Story by author.
This edition does NOT include the 1950's Lockheed Electra problems and correcting them.
flight safety in the 1958-1968 time frame, but it was a lengthy slog.

Some parts we enjoyable and engaging like the Electra Story, but others were quite dry recantation of facts. Overall, it took me a while to get through, though the frequent misogynistic comment put the book in it's place as a not very scholarly work..
