Flight 901 to Erebus
Description
Flight 901 to Erebus by Ken Hickson. (First Reprint Dec. 1980). 'Revelling modern-day Antarctic discoverers, closeted in the luxurious pressurised cocoon of one of the world's most sophisticated jetliners, crowed the windows to capture glimpses through the murky cloud of the icy wonderland they'd travelled 3000 miles to see. 'We'll have to climb out of this,' the DC10 captain realised - but too late. The powerful jet with 257 people on board was in the grasp of Antarctica's terrifyingly unpredictable weather. The warning alert sounded too late - the captain's order was given too late - for the three engines to power the great plane higher to avoid the concrete-hard icy slopes of the continent's active volcano, Mount Erebus. The dust jacket has much wear rubbing along all the edges and some small closed tears and tape repairs. The book, however, remains tight and bright.
