Human error accounts for 70% of all aircraft accidents and using this as a basis the author examines accidents in terms of various psychological themes such as perception, boredom, laterality, communication and male ego. The capacity of man's brain and his ability to deal with the machines he has created have developed less in 100,000 years than have those machines in 100 years. It must therefore be recognised that it is human nature to make mistakes. From April 1991 Human Factor Training will be compulsory for pilots and the study of the human factor in all forms of transport is a growing area. This book examines the causes of accidents, offering remedies and solutions, and is aimed at the general public as well as the informed specialist. The author, who as well as being a RAF and BOAC pilot, has a degree in psychology and researched as a Ministry Psychologist on aspects of aviation psychology.

For ten passengers it sparked off drama and disaster.The 8.01 from Ocklington to Victoria. Crowded with passengers like any other busy commuter train on the Southern line. Each passenger cocooned in that curious dream-like limbo between home and work. And for ten of those passengers the journey was destined to hold a special significance . . .For Miss Price, spinster, it was a marriage bureau. For Lady Majorie Mannering it was the start of a passionate affair. For Edward Blake, it brought a brief moment of happiness. For Sheila Tate it was the fairytale pumpkin that took her to the ball.For them, and for the others, it was a safe world. Or so they thought. But it wasn't only the official axe that threatened the train . . . Invisible wheels were in motion, accelerating slowly.And no brake could halt the final tragedy.'A story that grips from starting point to terminus' Northern Echo
