It shouldn't be possible
In this age of constant surveillance, it shouldn't be possible to lose a Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers. It's inconceivable that the aircraft flew for seven hours without anyone noticing that it was up there, completely off track. Yet, that's exactly what happened. Sylvia Wrigley, pilot and aviation expert, explores the possibilities in the pages of The Mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Wrigley is a pilot and aviation writer who has been obsessing about aviation safety for ten years.

Here’s what the Chief Test Pilot of the Harrier Jump Jet had to say about Sylvia's previous book
To even the most experienced investigator the causes can initially seem a mystery and there is so much information that has to be analysed that most of us would wonder where on earth to start. The debris, air traffic messages, eyewitnesses, the engineering history of the aircraft, the crew background and experience, and so on, are all things that could matter – but where are the vital clues to be found?
The author has done a remarkable job in not only researching the evidence of the accidents she covers and in putting across the problems of an investigation, but she has managed to do this in a way that will interest and appeal to a wide range of readers.
